Replication Data for: (No) competition between deverbal nouns and nominalized infinitives in Spanish

This is the data set that serves as the basis for an acceptability judgment experiment on which the following article is based:\" (No) competition between deverbal nouns and nominalized infinitives in Spanish\". The data set includes the experimental stimuli, working instructions, all attributes and values for which the data were coded, the R-code and the results of the statistical analysis.
This paper explores the distribution of deverbal nouns and nominalized infinitives that are built on transitive verbs and occur in eventive interpretations. The study is empirically oriented and based on an acceptability judgment experiment in which argument realization and interpretational possibilities are manipulated as the independent variables. The results show that deverbal nouns prefer but are not limited to realizing the lower argument of the base, whereas nominalized infinitives are mostly restricted to realizing the higher argument. Furthermore, deverbal nouns turn out to be insensitive with regard to the distinction between episodic and generic event readings, while nominalized infinitives are shown to be specialized on generic interpretations. Deverbal nouns and nominalized infinitives are, thus, mostly neither paradigmatically interchangeable nor complementarily distributed as nominalized infinitives reach the same degree of acceptability as deverbal nouns only under very specific conditions.

本数据集为支撑下述文章的可接受性判断实验（acceptability judgment experiment）提供了核心依据：《西班牙语中动名派生词（deverbal noun）与不定式名物化形式（nominalized infinitive）间的（非）竞争关系》。本数据集涵盖实验刺激材料、实验操作指南、数据编码所用的全部属性与取值、R代码（R-code）以及统计分析结果。

本文针对由及物动词派生而来、且具有事件性解读特征的动名派生词与不定式名物化形式的分布特征展开研究。本研究以实证为导向，依托一项可接受性判断实验开展，实验中将论元实现（argument realization）方式与解读可能性设为自变量（independent variable）进行操控。研究结果表明，动名派生词更倾向于实现基底动词的低阶论元，但并不局限于此；而不定式名物化形式则大多局限于实现高阶论元。此外，动名派生词对于偶发事件解读（episodic event reading）与类指事件解读的差异并无敏感性，而不定式名物化形式则被证实仅适用于类指解读（generic interpretation）。因此，动名派生词与不定式名物化形式大多既无法在聚合范式下实现互换，也不具备互补分布特征——仅在极为特定的条件下，不定式名物化形式才能达到与动名派生词相当的可接受度。
