Coding data to accompany "A quantitative approach to sociotopography in Austronesian languages"

<p>Dataset consists of csv files with sample languages identified by name and Glottocode. Coding for four sociolinguistic variables, as well as an overall &quot;orientation type.&quot; Each file corresponds to a different method for coding languages employing multiple spatial orientation strategies, as described in the document coding.pdf.</p> <p><strong>Orientation type</strong></p> <ul> <li>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&nbsp;</li> <li>land-sea* = land-sea systems in which the land-sea opposition is indistinguishable from &nbsp;geophysical elevation</li> <li>coastal = axis oriented parallel to the coast, often but not necessarily co-lexified with vertical `up&#39; and `down&#39;</li> <li>elevation = axis that &nbsp;distinguishes global or geophysical elevation with respect to deictic center&nbsp;</li> <li>riverine = axis oriented parallel to the river, typically with secondary axis orientated orthogonal to river</li> <li>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)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Distribution</strong></p> <ul> <li>distributed</li> <li>island</li> <li>village</li> </ul> <p><strong>Economy</strong></p> <ul> <li>diversified</li> <li>agriculture</li> <li>subsistence</li> </ul> <p><strong>Geography</strong></p> <ul> <li>diversified</li> <li>inland</li> <li>coast</li> </ul> <p><strong>Terrain</strong></p> <ul> <li>mountainous</li> <li>non-mountainous</li> </ul>
