The two annotated data files in this dataset were used to create the tables and graphs in the paper "From Motion to Causation: The Diachrony of the Spanish Causative Constructions with traer (‘Bring’) and llevar (‘Take’)". All the tokens, which span from the 12th to the 20th centuries, were retrieved from the Corpus del Diccionario Hisotórico (CDH) and belong to the geographical area of Spain. A first data file contains tokens of the Spanish causative constructions with "llevar" and "traer", composed by the following elements: [NP1 + llevar/traer + NP2 + a + infinitive]. The second data file contains tokens of two constructional variants of llevar/traer causative constructions, with the preposition "en" or with no preposition: [NP1 + llevar/traer + NP2 + en + infinitive] and [NP1 + llevar/traer + NP2 + infinitive]. The data from the first data file is annotated for (i) century, (ii) causative verb, (iii) animacy of the NP1, (iv) animacy of the NP2, (v) position of the NP2, (vi) position of adjuncts, (vii) lemma of the infinitive, (viii) presence of multiple infinitives and (ix) semantic class of the infinitive. The data from the second data file is annotated for (i) century, (ii) preposition and (iii) causative verb.
