Data for: Is buttercup a kind of cup? Hyponymy and semantic transparency in compound words

Human ratings of hyponymy for 2754 English compound words, The stimuli were selected from the Large Database of English Compounds (LADEC Gagné, Spalding, & Schmidtke, 2019) which is a database of over 8000 English closed (i.e., unspaced) compounds along with various psycholinguistic properties including several measures of semantic transparency (based on human ratings and corpus-based measures of association). In total, 2574 compounds were selected were divided into nine lists ranging from 200 to 354 items. Each list was used for one experiment for a total of nine experiments collected across a 2 year period and was seen by 97 to 121 participants. In total, 936 native speakers of English from the University of Alberta participated in the study. The responses were aggregated to obtain the percentage of participants responding yes for each item.

本研究对2754个英语复合词的上下位关系进行了人工评分，所选取的刺激材料源自于大型英语复合词数据库（LADEC Gagné, Spalding, & Schmidtke, 2019），该数据库包含8000多个英语封闭（即无空格）复合词，并附带多种心理语言学属性，包括基于人类评分和语料库关联度测量的多个语义透明度指标（基于人类评分和基于语料库的关联度测量）。总计2574个复合词被选取，并分为九个列表，列表中包含200至354个项目不等。每个列表用于一次实验，共计九次实验，这些实验在两年内完成，并接受了97至121名参与者的观察。总计有来自阿尔伯塔大学的936名英语母语者参与了本项研究。通过汇总回应，获得了针对每个项目的参与者回答“是”的百分比。
