Configuration of target adverbs in the Australian sample and the results of a hierarchical cluster analysis of the coordinates from the MDS spatial configuration. The abbreviations for the 12 target adverbs are: APP, apparently; CER, certainly; CLR, clearly; DEF, definitely; EVI, evidently; LIK, likely; OBV, obviously; POS, possibly; PRE, presumably; PRO, probably; REP, reportedly; and SUP, supposedly. The analysis revealed the following clusters: Cluster 1 (Jaccard similarity value = 0.960): apparently, presumably, reportedly, supposedly; Cluster 2 (Jaccard similarity value = 0.856): certainly, clearly, definitely; Cluster 3 (Jaccard similarity value = 0.795): evidently, likely, obviously; Cluster 4 (Jaccard similarity value = 0.865): possibly, probably.
