The dataset contains 13,171 variable double-object and prepositional datives extracted from the International Corpus of English series and the Corpus of Global web-based English sampling from nine national varieties of English: British English Canadian English New Zealand English Irish English Hong Kong English Philippine English Singapore English Indian English Jamaican English The dataframe contains the following columns: 1 TokenID: Unique identifier for the individual token 2 Variety: The variety from which the token is taken 3 Nativity: Native or non-native variety of English (L1 vs. L2) 4 Corpus: The corpus from which the token stems 5 Subcorpus: Combination of Corpus and Variety 6 FileID: ID of the corpus file in which the token was found.

Levels: ‘none’, ‘yes’, ‘no’ 62 SameUtterance: Indicates whether the preceding dative token occurred in the same utterance or not. Necessary for manual coding of persistence. 63 DistanceToPrevious: Number of utterances between current and preceding dative token. ‘None’ if no preceding dative token. 64 RecPron: Binary factor of recipient pronominality.
