Wiki Version:
In referential communication, adjectives are normally used to preempt an ambiguity between entities of the same kind, but they are often used redundantly. In a reference-production study, we show that English speakers produce more redundant color adjectives than Spanish speakers (replicating Rubio-Fernández, 2016). In three eye-tracking experiments, we tested the hypothesis that color contrast is established across-categories in English (pre-nominal modification: blue vs. non-blue figures) while it is established within-categories in Spanish (post-nominal modification: triangle blue vs. triangle red). Our results support the view that color contrast is established incrementally, which affects both the production and processing of color adjectives.
