dc.description The data are elicited Dinka utterances: collected through controlled elicitation, using English to convey the utterances to be translated to the speaker. The dialect is the Luanyjang variety, which is part of the Rek cluster. In total, the dataset contains 1096 sound files, with one utterance per sound file. In most cases, the target word in the utterance is a noun, elicited in one or more of a small number of sentence frames. These noun data were recorded so that listening to them and inspecting their acoustic representations could be used to help in determining the correct phonological transcription. The resulting transcriptions of noun forms are recorded in the table in nounnumber_dataset.pdf. This pdf is included in this dataset, and also includes nouns for which the transcription was determined purely based on auditory impressions. The nouns in nounnumber_dataset.pdf form the basis of a published paper: Ladd, D. Robert, Bert Remijsen & Caguor A. Manyang (2009). On the distinction between regular and irregular inflectional morphology: evidence from Dinka. Language 85(3), 659-670. In addition, this archived dataset also includes evidence of a) the construct state of some nouns, as it presents itself on nouns modified by a possessor or a demonstrative; b) forms from the paradigm of the verb {mel} ‘soil, make dirty’. The structure of the file names is explained in the readme.
