People tend to treat like-labeled objects as belonging to the same category. An open question is whether the use of labels in categorization varies across individuals due to differences in language experience, linguistic abilities, and/or cognitive abilities. We address this gap by comparing monolinguals' and bilinguals' use of (phonologically) Licit Words (zeg), Illicit Words (gsz) and non-linguistic cues (Frames) in forming novel categories. I show that language is unique: Licit Words drove categorization more strongly than Frames. We also observed flexibility: bilinguals made use of both Licit and Illicit Words, presumably because of their willingness to consider novel phonological forms as labels. Across both groups, there was individual variation: linguistic abilities significantly predicted Licit Word use. Thus, language acts as a unique category marker for adults, but the way it is used as a tool for categorization varies systematically as a function of language background and language processing skills.
