READ ME for the "SDRA_dataset" file

The dataset contains 319 examples of an Italian construction called "syntactic discontinuous reduplication with antonymic pairs" (SDRA; e.g., "cerca di qua cerca di là", "pezzi di qua pezzi di là"). The examples come from the itTenTen16 corpus, searched through the SketchEngine platform. The resource is fully described in Masini & Mattiola (in press).

The Excel file contains the following information:

- "ID": the ID of the document in the itTenTen16 corpus.
- "example_right_context": the example's right context.
- "example_SDRA": the example of SDRA – syntactic discontinuous reduplication with antonymic pairs (KWIC).
- "example_left_context": the example's left context.
- "adverbial_pair": the pair of antonymic adverbs used in the SDRA example (e.g., "di_qua_di_là").
- "red_X_item": the reduplicated item within the SDRA example (e.g., "cerca" in "cerca di qua cerca di là").
- "red_X_complexity": the complexity of the reduplicated item within the SDRA example (values: "Word", "Phrase", "Clause").
- "red_X_category": the category of the reduplicated item within the SDRA example (values: "Adj(ective)", "Adv(erb)", "Excl(amation)", "N_common" for common noun, "N_proper" for proper name, "onomatopoeia", "Pron(oun)", "V(erb)").
- "red_X_features": the grammatical features of the SDRA example (if present), abbreviated following the Leipzig Glossing Rules (e.g., "1PL.FUT.IND" for first person plural of the future indicative, "SG" for singular, "PL" for plural, "1SG" for first person pronoun, "F.SG" for feminine singular form, etc.; "che/chi" is a special value used when the reduplicated item is a clause introduced by "che/chi").
- "Function": the semantics expressed by the SDRA example (values: "Additive plurality", "Dispersion", "Distributivity", "Related variety").
