Experiment 1.

Behavioral results and two example visual contexts from the pragmatically reducible conditions. Examples differ depending on whether the given Listener word was a shape word (upper panel) or color word (lower panel). Columns represent choice options: pragmatic referent 1 (left-most pragmatic referent), pragmatic referent 2, and competitor. Rows in each panel present the distribution of responses in the Salience task (top row) and Listener task (bottom row). Salience responses are calculated separately over the contexts in which the competitor has a unique shape vs color.
