Condition GG = NO FOCUS or GIVEN + appropriate accentuation

Condition FF = FOCUS+ appropriate accentuation

Condition FG = FOCUS + inappropriate accentuation

Condition GF = NO FOCUS or GIVEN + inappropriate accentuation

Appropriate associations of context and target are signaled by identical letters (G1+G2+G3 = condition GG and F1+F2+F3 = condition FF). Inappropriate associations of contextual information and target sentences were created by combining the context of one condition and the target sentence of the opposite condition (G1+G2+F3 = condition GF or F1+F2+G3 = condition FG). Capitalized words signal focus accents.
