    "abstract": "Cross-linguistic research has shown that boundaries for\nlexical categories differ from language to language. The aim\nof this study is to explore these differences between languages\nin relation to the categorization differences within a language.\nMonolingual Dutch- (N=400) and French-speaking (N=300)\nBelgian adults provided lexical category judgments for three\nlexical categories that are roughly equivalent in Dutch and\nFrench. Each category was represented by good, borderline,\nand bad examples. A mixture modeling approach enabled us\nto identify latent groups of categorizers within a language and\nto evaluate cross-linguistic variation in relation to within-\nlanguage variation. We found complex patterns of lexical\nvariation within as well as between language groups. Even\nwithin a seemingly homogeneous group of speakers sharing\nthe same mother tongue, latent groups of categorizers display\na variability that resembles patterns of lexical variation found\nat a cross-linguistic level of comparison.",
