Replication data for: A long-haul change: Differential object marking in early Slavonic

This dataset provides replication data for an article on differential object marking in early Slavonic. The article uses extensive treebank data from the PROIEL and TOROT treebanks to track the much-debated rise of the animacy category in Russian, which in this article will be analysed as a change from at least partly definiteness-driven differential object marking in Old Church Slavonic via constructionally conditioned variation in Old East Slavonic to fully fledged animacy subgender marking in late Middle Russian. The change is interesting from a methodological point of view as well, since it requires us to annotate data through an ongoing change, and also since conventional treebank annotation is not enough to capture the conditions of the observed variation and change: annotation for semantics and information structure is necessary too. The article describes and defends a conservative approach to annotation in the face of change: the analysis that fits the first attested stage of a change is retained as long as possible.

本数据集为关于早期斯拉夫语中差异宾格标记的文章提供了复制数据。该文章运用了来自PROIEL和TOROT语料库的大量树库数据，追踪了俄罗斯语中备受争议的动性类别上升现象，其中，本文将分析这一现象为由至少部分由确定性驱动的旧教堂斯拉夫语的差异宾格标记，通过古东斯拉夫语的结构性条件变化，至晚期中古俄语的完全成熟的动性次类别标记的转变。这一变化从方法论角度来看也颇具意义，因为它要求我们在持续变化的过程中对数据进行标注，并且传统的树库标注不足以捕捉观察到的变异和变化条件：对语义和信息结构的标注也是必要的。文章描述并捍卫了一种面对变化时的保守标注方法：只要可能，就保留与变化最初证实的阶段相符合的分析。
