Replication Data for: Que dalle! The evolution of a French colloquial negation word

<p><b>Dataset abstract:</b> The dataset includes an annotated corpus sample of N = 208 French sentences with que dalle. In 2023, the sample was drawn from the literary database Frantext from which we have selected the subcorpus corpus moderne (1800-1979) and the subcorpus corpus contemporain (1980-present).We haven’t found any attestations of que dalle or graphic variants beyond the selected period. In total, we collected and analysed all 208 observations across the two corpora (see Table 2 in the article). The Frantext data serves in the first place to map out the diachronic evolution of que dalle and to compare with rien in synchrony.</p>
