    "abstract": "Two studies examined how lexical information contained in\nwords affects people’s category representations. Some words\nare lexically suggestive regarding the taxonomic position of\ntheir referent (e.g., bumblebee, starfish). However, this\ninformation differs from language to language (e.g., in Dutch\nthe equivalent words hold no taxonomic information:\nhommel, vlinder). Three language groups, Dutch, English, and\nIndonesian speakers, were tested in similarity and typicality\njudgment tasks. The results show that the lexical information\naffects only the users of the language (e.g., Dutch speakers\nrated Dutch-informative items, both in similarity and\ntypicality tasks, higher than English and Indonesian speakers).\nResults are discussed in light of theories of concept\nrepresentation and the language relativity hypothesis.",
