Title: Variations on Name Agreement
Abstract: People don't always agree on what objects should be called: do you drink your coffee out of a mug or a coffee cup? This common source of lexical variation has been termed name agreement in the psycholinguistic literature and it has interesting implications for language production and language comprehension. In this talk, I consider three places-- three variations-- on name agreement to shed light on how people's different labels for things might or might not affect communication.
