Replication Data for Grammatical Gender in Norwegian Dialects: Variation, Acquisition and Change (GenVAC)

[Dataset abstract:] The dataset consists of data related to investigations of grammatical gender across multiple Norwegian dialects. The data has been collected as part of the GenVAC project, funded by the Research Council of Norway 2020-2025, grant number 301094. The goal of GenVAC is to study changes in grammatical gender through large-scale experimental studies. In particular, it scrutinizes to what extent feminine gender is disappearing from Norwegian dialects based on four production experiments and eye-tracking studies. The data will be made available towards the end of the project. In addition, this dataset also includes files that enable scholars to use our methodology. The PowerPoint slides are available as original files and as pdfs for all four experiments. The background questionnaire has also been included, alongside a brief description of how to conduct the four experiments. These files are made available immediately. Since this project focuses on Norwegian, the accompanying article alongside all the material in this dataset are in Norwegian. Since this kind of work is impossible to do without knowing Norwegian, the material has not been translated.
