Woman or tennis player? Visual typicality and lexical frequency affect variation in object naming

2022-05-12

Abstract excerpt

<p>Speakers often use different names to refer to the same entity (e.g., “woman” vs. “tennis player”). We here explore factors that affect naming variation for visually presented objects. We analyze a large dataset of object names with realistic images and focus on two factors: visual typicality (of both objects and the contexts they appear in) and name frequency. We develop a novel computational approach to estim...
