Data Analyses. To compare the incidence of plural agreement over dialects, pronoun types, and head-noun types, analyses of variance were performed on the proportions of validPlural responses for each participant andeach item in each cell of the experimental design. The proportions were calculated relative to all valid Plural and Singular re- sponses in each condition for each type of preamble. Prior to analysis the proportions were arcsin transformed(▇▇▇▇▇ 1976). Analyses were performedwith both participants and items as random factors using the min F′ statistic (▇▇▇▇▇ 1973). Unless otherwise indicated, effects reported as significant were associated with probabilities less than or equal to 0.05, and the corresponding test statistics are summarized in Appendix D. Type of preamble presentation (read-aloud or reproduction) was treated as a separate factor in the analyses. Because the major findings were similar regardless of presentation mode, we omit differences associated with presentation from the results and discussion.
