The present study introduces affective norms for a set of 880 German words rated by learners of German as a second language (L2), i.e., the Affective Norms for German as a Second Language (ANGL2). The database provides ratings across affective and subjective psycholinguistic dimensions. Besides valence and arousal ratings, ANGL2 features data on emotional prototypicality, which helps to identify emotion-label words and emotion-laden words. Moreover, the database includes two additional semantic variables: concreteness and familiarity. We observed similarities with previous studies, and the ratings provided by L2 speakers demonstrate characteristics that should be noted in studies involving bilinguals, including more moderate valence ratings, and a stronger correlation between valence and arousal, specifically for positive words. ANGL2 is the first set of affective norms that has been rated by L2 speakers for a language other than English. The set of norms is aimed to function as a resource for psycholinguistic experimental studies on the intersection between emotion and language among L2 speakers.
本研究介绍了一套由德语第二语言学习者（L2）对880个德语单词进行评分的情感规范，即德语作为第二语言的情感规范（ANGL2）。该数据库提供了情感和主观心理语言学维度的评分。除了效价和唤醒评分外，ANGL2还具有情感原型数据，这有助于识别情感标签词和充满情感的词汇。此外，该数据库还包括两个额外的语义变量：具体性和熟悉度。我们观察到与之前研究的相似之处，并且L2使用者提供的评分显示出在涉及双语者的研究中应注意的特征，包括更适度的效价评分，以及效价与唤醒之间更强的相关性，特别是对于积极词汇。ANGL2是第一套由L2使用者对英语以外的语言进行评分的情感规范。这套规范旨在作为二语使用者情感与语言交叉领域心理语言学实验研究的资源。
