ADV-ADS: A Geo-Referenced Dataset of Vernacular Farm Animal-Directed Speech in Bavaria and Upper Austria (1930)

This data descriptor outlines the structural properties, variables, and distribution schema of the ADV-ADS dataset. The dataset represents a digitized, annotated, and geo-referenced sample (N=7,922 records) extracted from Question 31 of the Atlas der Deutschen Volkskunde (ADV) survey conducted in 1930. The data documents the linguistic structures of animal-directed speech (ADS)---specifically attractant commands (Lockrufe) and scaring calls (Scheuchrufe)---across 12 domestic animal domains distributed throughout 302 historical municipalities in Bavaria (Germany) and Upper Austria. It serves as an open-access repository resource under a CC BY 4.0 license designed to support computational folk-culture research, dialectology, and inter-species interaction mapping.
