    "abstract": "We examine the effects of age and education on the production of variable grammatical morphology among speakers\nof Yucatec Maya. Our investigation focuses on the use of optional plural morphology when describing pictures of one, two and\nseven entities performing an action in Yucatec Maya. Our sample (N=69) compares children and adults ranging in age from\n5 to 48 years old (mean=19.6, SD=12.1) with levels of education (Spanish-based) ranging from no formal education to some\ncollege. Since the use of plural morphology is not optional in Spanish, this is a particularly interesting test of the effects of\neducation in Spanish on sentence production in Yucatec Maya. Mixed effects logit models reveal that set size is a significant\npredictor of the use of plural morphology and numeral mention. Education, but not age, predicts the use of plural morphology,\nthough only on nouns. We propose a language-internal and language contact-based explanation.",
