Three web-based truth-value judgment experiments with a plural definite bound by a quantifier: 'Every boy opened his presents' against 'No boy opened his presents' (Experiment 1) and against 'Not every boy opened his presents' (Experiment 2), and 'Exactly two boys opened their presents' (Experiment 3). Experiments 1 and 2 are those of Augurzky et al. (2023), reanalysed. Each picture shows four children with nine presents each, opened ones coloured and closed ones grey. CONTEXT, a family rule that opening the presents is prohibited (PROHIBITED) or required (REQUIRED) before the guests arrive, is between participants and is reinforced by a first task asking whether the rule was obeyed; PICTURE (control or target) and POLARITY (the positive or negative quantifier, or the positive or negative part of exactly two) are within participants. Participants rated how well the sentence describes the picture on a five-point scale from 'completely true' to 'completely false'. The target conditions are analysed by proportional-odds cumulative logit mixed-effects models with CONTEXT sum-coded (STRICT -0.5, LAX 0.5, LAX being PROHIBITED for the positive condition and REQUIRED for the negative) and POLARITY treatment-coded with the negative condition as reference level. The random-effect estimates of Tables 5, 8 and 11 are not transcribed.
