How Objects with Different Ontological and Linguistic Accessibility are Represented in Speech

The correlation between the cognitive accessibility of an object and the way of representing this object in the text when retelling a video plot or stories based on a set of pictures has been investigated. It was shown (1) that there is no correlation between the cognitive accessibility of an object and the frequency of mentioning this object in the text; and (2) that there is a strong correlation between the cognitive accessibility of the object and the difficulties experienced by the speaker in naming the object, manifested in the observed symptoms of speech disfluencies.
