Coding data to accompany "A quantitative approach to sociotopography in Austronesian languages"
Description
Dataset consists of csv files with sample languages identified by name and Glottocode. Coding for four sociolinguistic variables, as well as an overall "orientation type." Each file corresponds to a different method for coding languages employing multiple spatial orientation strategies, as described in the document coding.pdf.
Orientation type
- land-sea = axis oriented orthogonal to the coast, based on opposition between landward (inland) and seaward (toward the coast), regardless of whether these terms reflect PAN *daya and *lahud
- land-sea* = land-sea systems in which the land-sea opposition is indistinguishable from geophysical elevation
- coastal = axis oriented parallel to the coast, often but not necessarily co-lexified with vertical `up' and `down'
- elevation = axis that distinguishes global or geophysical elevation with respect to deictic center
- riverine = axis oriented parallel to the river, typically with secondary axis orientated orthogonal to river
- cardinal = axis fixed according to conventions which do not vary with local geography (although they may be motivated by environmental factors such as wind and the sun)
