Fig. 1.

Acceptability judgments and reading times for sentences containing the definite and the indefinite determiner depending on fulfillment condition. Left panel: Mean acceptability values for target sentences. Right panel: Reading times (ms) for the words of interest (w = word, t = trigger, wcrit = critical word, lw = last word). The asterisks mark significant differences between conditions, and the asterisks in parentheses mark a tendency (* = Effect of Fulfillment, *Det = Effect of Determiner, *IA = interaction between Fulfillment and Determiner). The error bars shown for the acceptability judgments denote the standard error of the mean computed according to a method proposed by Cousineau (2005) for within-participants designs. We refrained from showing error bars for reading times for the sake of visual clarity
