When do speakers take into account common ground
William S. Horton,Boaz Keysar +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that speakers do not engage in audience design in the initial planning of utterances; instead, they monitor those plans for violations of common ground.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Egocentric Basis of Language Use: Insights From a Processing Approach
TL;DR: Lamb et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a more complete and exhaustively referenced review than is possible here and referred the reader to Lamb, Sternberg, Esplin, Hershkowitz, and Orbach (1997).
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of memory demands on audience design during language production.
TL;DR: It is suggested that audience design depends on the memory representations to which speakers have ready access given the time constraints of routine conversation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conversational Common Ground and Memory Processes in Language Production
TL;DR: The authors show that conversational common ground, rather than being a category of specialized mental representations, is more usefully conceptualized as an emergent property of ordinary memory processes, and examine two separate but equally important processes: commonality assessment and message formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Phonetic convergence between talker pairs that vary in the degree of their initial language alignment may be dynamically mediated by two parallel mechanisms: the need for intelligibility and the extra demands of nonnative speech production and perception.
