6-year-old child | Corset | The beige thing that looks like a dress | Bikini | Banana |

Note. For the test trials, the competitor object and an example of a paraphrase indicating that the participant has succeeded in taking the addressee’s perspective are given. The two objects are shown in Figure S2. In this example, the object to be named was a corset (the competitor was a bikini), and when the addressee was a small child, an appropriate label would be the beige thing that looks like a dress, whereas a pragmatically inappropriate label would be undergarment since a child probably does not know what a corset’s function is, and bikini also fits this label.
