• Experimental Methods for Measuring Intelligibility of Closely Related Language Varieties (2013, background): “To solve this problem, Tang and Van Heuven (2009) determined word intelligibility by having subjects perform a semantic categorization task whereinwords had to be classified as one of ten different pre-given semantic categories, such as ‘body part,’ ‘plant,’ ‘animal,’ and so on.”
• Lexical and syntactic representations in closely related languages: Evidence from Cantonese–Mandarin bilinguals (2011, background): “Mandarin and Cantonese have many characteristics that are usually associated with distinct languages, with their spoken forms being mutually unintelligible (Tang & van Heuven, 2009).”
