    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Adjective ordering preferences (e.g., big brown bag vs. brownbig bag) are robustly attested in English and many unrelatedlanguages (Dixon, 1982). Scontras, Degen, and Goodman(2017) showed that adjective subjectivity is a robust predictorof ordering preferences in English: less subjective adjectivesare preferred closer to the modified noun. In a follow-up tothis empirical finding, Simoniˇc (2018) and Scontras, Degen,and Goodman (to appear) claim that pressures from success-ful reference resolution and the hierarchical structure of mod-ification explain subjectivity-based ordering preferences. Weprovide further support for this claim using large-scale sim-ulations of reference scenarios, together with an empirically-motivated adjective semantics. In the vast majority of cases,subjectivity-based adjective orderings yield a higher probabil-ity of successful reference resolution.",
