  abstract  = {Gender stereotypes influence subjective beliefs about the world, and this is reflected in our use of language. But do gender biases in language transparently reflect subjective beliefs? Or is the process of translating thought to language itself biased? During the 2016 United States (N = 24,863) and 2017 United Kingdom (N = 2,609) electoral campaigns, we compared participants' beliefs about the gender of the next head of government with their use and interpretation of pronouns referring to the next head of government. In the United States, even when the female candidate was expected to win, she pronouns were rarely produced and induced substantial comprehension disruption. In the United Kingdom, where the incumbent female candidate was heavily favored, she pronouns were preferred in production but yielded no comprehension advantage. These and other findings suggest that the language system itself is a source of implicit biases above and beyond previously known biases, such as those measured by the Implicit Association Test.},

  abstract  = {The endothelialization of synthetic surfaces applied as cardiovascular implant materials is an important issue to ensure the anti-thrombotic quality of a biomaterial. However, the rapid and constant development of a functionallycon-fluent endothelial cell monolayer is challenging. In order to investigate the compatibility of potential implant materials with endothelial cells several in vitro studies are performed. Here, glass and tissue culture plates (TCP) are often used as reference materials for in vitro pre-testing. However, a direct comparison of both substrates is lacking. Therefore, a comparison of study results is difficult, since results are often related to various reference materials. In this study, the endothelialization of glass and TCP was investigated in terms of adherence, morphology, integrity, viability and function using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). On both substrates an almost functionally confluent HUVEC monolayer was developed after nine days of cell seeding with clearly visible cell rims, decreased stress fiber formation and a pronounced marginal filament band. The viability of HUVEC was comparable for both substrates nine days after cell seeding with only a few dead cells. According to that, the cell membrane integrity as well as the metabolic activity showed no differences between TCP and glass. However, a significant difference was observed for the secretion of IL-6 and IL-8. The concentration of both cytokines, which are associated with migratory activity, was increased in the supernatant of HUVEC seeded on TCP. This result matches well with the slightly increased number of adherent HUVEC on TCP. In conclusion, these findings indicate that both reference materials are almost comparable and can be used equivalently as control materials in in vitro endothelialization studies.},

  abstract  = {In task-oriented communication, references often need to be effective in their distinctive function, that is, help the hearer identify the referent correctly and as effortlessly as possible. However, it can be challenging for computational or empirical studies to capture referential effectiveness. Empirical findings indicate that human-produced references are not always optimally effective, and that their effectiveness may depend on different aspects of the situational context that can evolve dynamically over the course of an interaction. On this basis, we propose a computational model of effective reference generation which distinguishes speaker behaviour according to its helpfulness to the hearer in a certain situation, and explicitly aims at modelling highly helpful speaker behaviour rather than speaker behaviour invariably. Our model, which extends the planning-based paradigm of sentence generation with a statistical account of effectiveness, can adapt to the situational context by making this distinction newly for each new reference. We find that the generated references resemble those of effective human speakers more closely than references of baseline models, and that they are resolved correctly more often than those of other models participating in a shared-task evaluation with human hearers. Finally, we argue that the model could serve as a methodological framework for computational and empirical research on referential effectiveness.},
