Dependency locality as an explanatory principle for word order Supplemental Material

Figure 1 (p. 389).

Dependency length as a function of sentence length for fifty-three languages. The x-axis is sentence length and the y-axis is the mean of total dependency length for all sentences of that length. The black line represents true dependency length. The colored lines represent random baselines. Solid colored lines represent projective baselines; dashed colored lines represent nonprojective baselines. Some baselines are not visible because they are covered by others.
