Data - Group Level Data.csv

This dataset contains the <b>group-level reading time data</b> from the study <i>“Comprehension of Irony in L1 and L2 in Hindi-English Bilinguals: Effect of Cognitive, Linguistic and Meta-Linguistic Abilities”</i> (Shukla &amp; Singh, Centre of Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences, University of Allahabad).The group-level dataset represents <b>aggregated region-of-interest (ROI) values</b> across participants for each sentence type (ironic vs. literal) in both <b>L1 (Hindi)</b> and <b>L2 (English)</b> conditions. Data are averaged by stimulus and experimental condition, rather than presented at the individual trial level.<b>Participants</b>: 54 Hindi-English bilinguals randomly assigned to either L1 or L2 reading conditions.<b>Task</b>: Sentence reading with irony manipulation, measured using an eye-tracking paradigm.<b>Variables</b>: Each row corresponds to a sentence stimulus with ROI-level reading times (e.g., mean fixation durations across participants) for ironic and literal conditions.<b>Use</b>: These data were used in mixed-factor ANOVAs to assess group-level differences in processing ironic vs. literal sentences across language contexts.The dataset enables reproducibility of the <b>group-level analyses</b> reported in the manuscript and allows secondary analysis of irony comprehension patterns at the condition/stimulus level.
