Proportions of singular verbs predicted by four different implementations of the Marking & Morphing model (lines) plotted against human data (Experiment 1: grey-shaded bars; Experiment 2: zebra-style bars). In Implementation 1 (M&M 1), Specification values for the quantifiers were determined based on the corpus analysis, in Implementation 2 (M&M 2) based on the behavioral data. In Implementation 3 (M&M 3) the quantifiers were assumed to be syntactically marked as singular, and in Implementation 4 (M&M 4) they were assumed to be unmarked for grammatical number. The first four bars represent conditions with the quantifier several, the last four bars conditions with the quantifier many. NonHom = non-homophonous with the nominative singular form; Hom = homophonous with the nominative singular; Ex = existential verb; Ag = agentive verb.
