Replication Data for: Motion verbs and secondary predications: What corpus data can tell the classroom practitioner

This dataset sheds light on the secondary predication construction in Russian, which involves a choice between adjectives or numerals in the long form nominative, short form nominative, and instrumental case. Examples involve prijti p’janyj ‘arrive drunk’ (long form nominative), usnut’ p’jan ‘fall asleep drunk’ (short form nominative), and ubit’ soseda p’janym ‘kill the neighbor while drunk’ (instrumental). The dataset contains 860 examples from the Russian National Corpus (main and newspaper subcorpora). The analysis shows that the long form nominative and the instrumental have different distributions in modern Russian, while the short form nominative is marginal in present day Russian.
