The Gurindji dataset was compiled by Felicity Meakins between 2004-2017 and further processed for DoReCo by Magdalena Eberlein, Bruno Behling, Ludger Paschen, and Matthew Stave between 2019 and 2024. If you are interested in distributing modified versions of the Gurindji DoReCo dataset, please contact Felicity Meakins to obtain permission, in accordance with the license under which this dataset is distributed. The files that the Gurindji DoReCo dataset are based on are part of a larger collection of Felicity Meakins's Gurindji data that can be found at https://catalog.paradisec.org.au/collections/GK1. Note that language mixing is extremely common in Gurindji, as described in detail in Meakins & McConvell (2001). Therefore, in this dataset, the label for foreign material <<fm>> is used primarily for code switching, especially with non-native phonology, but not for established loans such as /na/ 'FOC' or /tumaji/ 'CAUS' or for loan words that include Gurindji affixes.

A set of files with further information on the Gurindji DoReCo dataset, including metadata and PIDs is automatically included in each bulk download of files from this dataset.

Please note that when actual data from any number of DoReCo datasets is used, the full reference for each individual dataset must be provided, including the name(s) of the creator(s) of each dataset. It is NOT sufficient to refer to DoReCo as a whole. We are aware that this may result in very long lists of references, but it is only in this way that corpus creators get due recognition for their work. The default is to include the full set of bibliographical references in the reference section of the main text of a paper or abstract. If this is absolutely impossible (because of page limit restrictions, for instance), then inclusion of the full list of references in an appendix is acceptable, or - as a last resort - in supplementary material published separately, e.g. on Zenodo or OSF, in which case the main text of the paper or the abstract must explicitly refer to this list and provide its URL or PID.
