NWO Veni project 'Try to see it my way: when do speakers consider the listener’s perspective?'

Jorrig Vogels has been awarded a Veni grant for talented researchers for his research about ‘Are people egocentric when they talk?’. This project aims to provide a more complete explanation for why speakers appear to adapt their language use to their addressee’s needs in some cases, but not in others. Clever experimental designs are used to reveal when referential choices in language production include a consideration of the listener’s perspective.
