When conceptual pacts are broken: Partner-specific effects on the comprehension of referring expressions (2003, background): “Previous research has found that both duration and intelligibility of repeated words are typically reduced in dialogue (e.g., Bard et al., 2000; Dahan, Tanenhaus, & Chambers, 2002; Fowler & Housum, 1987; Lieberman, 1963; Samuel & Troicki, 1998).”
Experimental and theoretical advances in prosody: A review (2010, background): “There is a close relationship between frequency and probability and quantitative measures of prominence (Aylett, 2000; Aylett & Turk, 2004; Bard et al., 2000; Bell, Brenier, Gregory, Girand, & Jurafsky, 2009; Gregory, Healy, & Jurafsky, 2002; Jurafsky, Bell, Gregory, & Raymond, 2001).”
Reference production: Production-internal and addressee-oriented processes (2008, background): “Indeed, measures of intelligibility are often coupled with measures of normalised duration (e.g., Bard et al., 2000).”
Why reduce? Phonological neighborhood density and phonetic reduction in spontaneous speech (2012, background): “Using the same word multiple times in a discourse tends to promote shortening and possibly other types of phonetic reduction (Bard et al., 2000; Bell et al., 2009; Fowler, 1988; Fowler & Housum, 1987; Gahl, 2009).”
Predictability Effects on Durations of Content and Function Words in Conversational English (2009, background): “) The effect is the reverse of the relationship found by Griffin and Bock (1998), namely that the frequency effect of lexical access was diminished for highly predictable contexts. Note also that in their lexical decision study, Segalowitz and Lane (2000) found stronger associations of latency and f”
Time and Thyme Are not Homophones: The Effect of Lemma Frequency on Word Durations in Spontaneous Speech (2008, background): “…suggested themselves: word durations tend to shorten, and articulatory effort tends to be reduced, as a function of repetition within a discourse (Bard et al. 2000, Fowler 1988, Fowler & Housum 1987, Fowler et al. 1997, Shields & Balota 1991), predictability within an utterance (Gregory et al.…”
Why is conversation so easy? (2004, background): “evidence for alignment of clarity of articulation [ 34 ], and of accent and speech rate [35].”
Alignment and task success in spoken dialogue (2014, background): “At a low level, phonetic reductions occur in jointly understood words (Bard et al., 2000).”
