5.2.1.2  Within-Group Differences 
 
 
The results for the translation data revealed significant within-group 
differences in the translation responses. 
 
Group 1 
 
 
For Group 1, Types 23. SV(O) Adverbial and 13. SV Inf were translated more 
accurately than all the other types.  The implicational scaling analysis also confirms 
that subjects were 80% or more accurate in translating Types 23 and 13 than the 
other types.  The coefficient of reproducibility and the coefficient of scalability 
were both found to be statistically significant for this analysis, which suggests that 
the accuracy order for the translation data for Group 1 has validity and predictive 
power.  The order is the following (at the top are those types that were the easiest 
to translate, while at the bottom are those types that were the most difficult to 
translate):
