Annotation

People catching referential communication grasp more when they overhear dialogues rather than monologues. Some have presented this is because entrainment chooses more intelligible referential expressions. This study infers that entrained prospects are not objectively superior and cannot be employed as the basis for accounting the advantage of listening to dialogues.
