We operationalized differences in meaning representations as differences in individual thresholds which were estimated using logistic regression. We show that the representation ofmost varies across subjects and its verification depends on proportion. Moreover, the choice of the representation of most affects the verification process. These effects are not present for <em>more than half</em>. The study demonstrates the cognitive differences between <em>most</em> and <em>more than half</em> and individual variation in meaning representations.</p> </div> </div> </div>}, number={2}, journal={Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung}, author={Ramotowska, Sonia and Steinert-Threlkeld, Shane and Van Maanen, Leendert and Szymanik, Jakub}, year={2020}, month={Sep.}, pages={165–182} }
