The starting point of the data collection is the theoretical examination of the form of the am-progressive or the determination of all morphological components (seinFINITUM+am+VINF), which at the same time represents the theoretical core area of this dissertation. The questionnaire designed and available in this way was answered by 40 speakers, including members of the Amish and Mennonites, as well as other Pennsylvania German speakers. The resulting corpus of approximately 1720 sentences is the basis for the morpho-syntactic evaluation of the am-progressive.

The package contains data files in three formats (doc, txt, mp3). Included is a file with the original questionnaire in English. The mp3 file and the tables correlate and are each assigned to an anonymized person, but they are numbered consecutively.
