The academic tendency to name things

can be identified according to a range of systems dependent on the discipline in which the observer is situated. Names for this tendency include taxonomy[1], itself a subset of classification [2,3]; characterization[4], typology[5], or categorization[6,7,8]. This paper presents findings that all of these types of this tendency have in common a process of what we will call "labeling," which may be familiar to the layperson as "naming things"
