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.Accommodation statement: If you require an accommodation such as live captioning or interpretation to participate in this event, please contact Dan Parker (parker.1758@osu.edu).   Oxley 103 Department of Linguistics linguistics@osu.edu America/New_York public
