    "abstract": "In current approaches to pragmatic reasoning the comprehension\nand production of referring expressions is modeled as a\nresult of the interlocutors’ mutual perspective-taking. While\nsuch models of pragmatic reasoning have been empirically validated\nin referential language games experiments, empirical\n(and computational) work on the generation of referring expressions\nhas shown that speakers do not always take the listener’s\nperspective into account, but instead produce referring\nexpressions according to their own preferences. One particularly\nwell studied example is color: speakers often include\ncolor terms in their referring expressions even if they do not\nhelp identify the intended referent. We show that like speakers,\nlisteners treat color differently from other properties like\ne.g. size. Our results suggest that listeners do not seem to\nperform much pragmatic reasoning when the referring expression\nonly expresses color, but instead follow a simple saliencebased\nheuristic.",
