Percentages of Scorable Utterances, That Production, Disfluency Rates, Embedded Subject Errors, and That Accuracy for Sentences With Similar or Dissimilar Embedded-Subject Noun Phrases When Sentences Were Encoded With or Without a That
| Scored % | That % | Disfluency % | Emb. Sub. Err. % | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Embedded Subject Similarity | That | Zero | That | Zero | M | That | Zero | M | That | Zero | M | That Acc. % |
| Conceptually similar | 54.0 | 50.4 | 88.4 | 73.3 | 80.9 | 61.1 | 58.5 | 59.9 | 23.1 | 23.9 | 23.5 | 58.9 |
| Conceptually dissimilar | 55.0 | 55.2 | 83.5 | 66.4 | 75.0 | 47.7 | 49.3 | 48.5 | 18.9 | 21.3 | 20.1 | 57.9 |
Notes—Scored % reports the percentages of utterances evaluated for that mention; that % reports utterances produced with that; disfluency % reports utterances with disfluency before the end of the embedded subject; emb. sub. err. % reports otherwise scorable utterances with an erroneously recalled embedded subject; that acc. % reports utterances where the that was produced or omitted as originally encoded; that and zero columns refer to conditions where speakers were presented with sentences with or without a that before the embedded subject (respectively). All percentages (except scored %) are of scorable utterances.
