| Abstract | Dutch-speaking adults and children were tested to find out about their criteria to apply the relative adjective groot (En.: big, large). The hypothesis that leaps in the distribution trigger cutoff points between the items that will and will not be called groot was confirmed for the adults, but not for the children. |
