Title:		SeegullStory2l
		Seegull story 2 (long)
Coverage:		Netherlands
Date:		2007-10-29
Description:		7 pictures; The picture stories are designed to elicit the production of full NP referents with different informational statuses: new, distant and immediate. One set of stories (8) contains referents whose names are regular nouns, the other set (4 stories) contains referents referents were familiar characters from TV, movies etc. Two of the four characters typically occur with a definite article (der Sandmann, der Weihnachtsmann), the other two usually without any article ((Onkel) Donald, Spongebob). In the regular noun set, one half of the stories contains the new and the distant condition, the other half referents in the immediate condition. In the new condition, the target referent (TR) occurred for the first time. In the immediate condition, a referent was introduced in one picture, and occurred again (as TR) in the immediately following picture. In the distant condition, a referent is introduced at the beginning of the story, and re-occurs after five (four in the case of one story) other intervening pictures containing other referents. All four TRs are animals whose names were assumed to be known to five-year-old children on the basis of results from a pilot study. All words were disyllabic and had a sonorant segmental make-up to enable pitch analysis. Three of the words had a trochaic stress pattern, one had a iambic stress pattern. The target words were Kamel (‘camel’), Möwe (‘seagull’), Biber (‘beaver’) and Biene (‘bee’). The target pictures showed transitive events, in which the TRs had non-agentive semantic roles. The (non-agentive) TRs all have the same grammatical gender as the agents of the depicted stories in order to minimise pronoun use. These stimuli are publicly accessible. If you want to use them please quote : De Ruiter, L. E. (2010). Studies on intonation and information structure in child and adult German. PhD Thesis, Radboud University Nijmegen, Nijmegen.
