Dear All
I think I presented the second table in a misleading way - it's not so much
about each sentence, but about the function of advising. I'm attaching it
again, together with the two actual tables on the sentences. Thanks to
Martin Edwardes for sending me a table with the breakdown of responses
entailing '(1) is not advice' and '(2) is not advice'.
Advice
All All-% NS NS-% NNS NNS-%
(1) is advice [A+B] 34 20.9% 21 18.9% 13 25.0%
(2) is advice [A+C] 93 57.1% 65 58.6% 28 53.9%
None is advice [D] 36 22.1% 25 22.5% 11 21.1%
TOTAL 163 111 52
Sentence (1)
All All-% NS NS-% NNS NNS-%
(1) is advice [A+B] 34 24.8% 21 22.6% 13 29.5%
(1) is not advice [C+D] 103 75.2% 72 77.4% 31 70.5%
TOTAL 137 93 44
Sentence (2)
All All-% NS NS-% NNS NNS-%
(2) is advice [A+C] 93 67.9% 65 69.9% 28 63.6%
(2) is not advice [B+D] 44 32.1% 28 30.1% 16 36.4%
TOTAL 137 93 44
