Replication Data for: Er politiet sikker eller sikre? Adjektivkongruens ved kollektiver i norsk

The “Adjektivkongruens” project investigates the incidence of singular vs. plural endings on adjectives that agree with collective nouns in Norwegian, as in: Politiet var sikker (singular) vs. sikre (plural) på at mannen var død ‘The police was/were sure that the man was dead’. The possible predictor factors that are investigated are the distance between the noun and the adjective, the semantic category of the substantive (geopolitical, political party, police, etc.), the status of the adjective as an ordinary qualitative adjective or a participle, and whether or not the adjective is part of a larger grammatical construction (for example with a prepositional phrase).

「形容词一致（Adjektivkongruens）」项目旨在探究挪威语中与集体名词搭配的形容词的单复数词尾使用频次，示例如下：*Politiet var sikker*（单数形式）与*sikre*（复数形式）在句子*Politiet var sikker/sikre på at mannen var død*（对应英译句为*The police was/were sure that the man was dead*，可译为「警方确信该男子已死亡」）中的使用差异。本次研究考察的潜在预测因子包括名词与形容词间的距离、名词的语义范畴（如地缘政治类、政党类、警务类等）、形容词属于普通性质形容词还是分词，以及形容词是否为更大语法结构的组成部分（例如带有介词短语的结构）。
