When conceptual pacts are broken: Partner-specific effects on the comprehension of referring expressions (2003, background): “In an experiment by Dahan et al. (2002), pre-recorded accented and de-accented referring expressions from a single speaker were played to listeners , and so could be precisely controlled such that each listener heard the same tokens.”
Experimental and theoretical advances in prosody: A review (2010, methodology): “Isaacs and Watson (2010 this issue) manipulated the acoustic properties of pitch accents in a paradigm similar to that used by Dahan et al. (2002) and found that F0 slope contributed more to the perception of accenting and de-accenting than overall F0 and duration.”
Children's use of gender and order-of-mention during pronoun comprehension (2007, background): “This entity thus tends to be the most accessible for the purpose of interpretation of pronouns (Arnold et al., 2000a; Gordon et al., 1993) and fluent deaccented definite noun phrases (Dahan et al., 2002).”
Signal-based and expectation-based factors in the perception of prosodic prominence (2010, background): “Words with acoustic prominence are perceived by listeners as referring to new entities introduced in the discourse, or to entities with contrastive focus, while words with less acoustic prominence are perceived in association with prior discourse context or with universal givens (Arnold 2008; Dahan ”
The role of contrastive intonation contours in the retrieval of contextual alternatives (2010, methodology): “Dahan, Tanenhaus, and Chambers (2002) used a sequence of two instructions (e.g.”
Prosody in context: a review (2015, background): “The status of prosodic encoding of discourse meaning is discussed in relation to its variability, its use by listeners and by considering its basis in biological mechanisms.”
How language production shapes language form and comprehension (2012, background): “Listeners clearly have learned these reduction patterns and benefit from them (Dahan et al., 2002), but this benefit does not mean that phonological reduction is designed to help the listener.”
Analog acoustic expression in speech communication (2006, background): “For example, prosodic information can facilitate reference resolution due to the role of prosodic stress in marking information that is new in the discourse context (Dahan et al., 2002).”
