Empirical and simulated distributions for the relative frequencies of a given form. (A and B) Spanish subjunctive case, -se vs. -ra. Simulation reported in A reproduced the empirical observation of the equivalent distributions (B). (C and D) Intervention of informal institution case, UK vs. US variant. Simulations reported in C can be compared with the actual empirical distribution (D). Simulated distributions from 200 simulation runs with parameters informed by the fitting procedure and $\mathcal{W}=\mathrm{2,000}$.
