Our work may suggest that speakers are adopting less of an incremental production strategy, as well as supports the role of affordance-based information in scene descriptions given that speakers are ordering object mentions based on object-level semantic features.

Speakers are more likely to first mention objects that they are likely to interact with, “interactable” objects, when providing a description of a real-world scene.
The punchline? We found that object-level semantic information predicted order of mention, which we interpreted as the role of object semantics in scene viewing and description.

1. How’s your research going?
2. When are you graduating?
