Stereotypes and Discourse Connectors in Czech

PID

The purpose of the dataset is to test three variables: (i) the effect of argument order in Ale-constructions (But-constructions) “A, ale B” (“A, but B”): positive A, but negative (or stereotypical category) B vs. negative (or stereotypical category) A, but positive B; (ii) the effect of the discourse connector that introduces the conclusion following from the Ale-construction (“takže” (so/therefore) vs. “nicméně” (however/nevertheless)); (iii) the effect of propositional content (stereotypical vs. neutral) on inference of the conclusion. At the most general level, the dataset is divided into two groups according to the connective introducing the conclusion: 24 “takže” scenarios and 24 “nicméně” scenarios. Each of these two categories is further divided according to (non-)stereotypicality of content, i.e., 12 neutral (non-stereotypical) scenarios and 12 stereotypical scenarios (categories: age, gender, and nationality/ethnicity), and according to the order of arguments. In neutral scenarios: 6 scenarios with the structure “positive A [positive = argument for performing R], but negative B [negative = argument for performing non-R]”. See the README file for more information regarding the structure and use of the data.
