 Description

ILS is a dataset containing Slovene word forms containing a single lC bigram, i.e. an "l" grapheme preceding a consonant grapheme (a bigram of "l"+C(onsonant) = lC bigram). This combination is one of the less predictable pronunciation ambiguities in Slovene, as the "l" grapheme is sometimes pronounced as /l/ (e.g. "alge") and sometimes as /u̯/ (e.g. "polža"). In some cases, both variants are acceptable (e.g. "morilka"), but there is disagreement within the linguistic community on which pronunciations are acceptable in standard Slovene. The word forms containing an lC bigram were extracted from the manually validated lexemes of Sloleks 3.0 (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1745). Approximately 6,600 lexemes were exported along with their inflected forms. The inflected forms were then annotated by 5 linguists in PyBossa (https://docs.pybossa.com/). Each set of forms within a lexeme were annotated by two linguists in terms of the standard Slovene pronunciation of the lC bigram (L, U, or both). The dataset enables additional linguistic analyses of the pronunciation of L in pre-consonant position in Slovene words and can be used as a starting point to identify the most problematic points of disagreement in pronunciation which can be included in future studies. Version 1.0 includes 173.419 annotated word forms with 2 annotations each. Forms containing multiple lC bigrams were excluded in this version as they only account for approximately 5 % of all lC bigram forms; these will be included in future versions.
