Variable linguistic environments require the ability to quickly update expectations and
behavior including speech comprehension. This adaptive capacity is key to understanding …

Intonation plays an integral role in comprehending spoken language. It encodes post-lexical
pragmatic functions such as sentence modality and discourse contexts. The present …

Intonation plays an integral role in comprehending spoken language. Listeners can rapidly
integrate intonational information to predictively map a given pitch accent onto the speaker's …

Speakers vary in their pronunciations of the sounds in their native language. Listeners use
lexical knowledge to adjust their phonetic categories to speakers' idiosyncratic …

We evaluated the hypothesis that listeners can generate expectations about upcoming input
using anticipatory deaccenting, in which the absence of a nuclear pitch accent on an …

Different speakers sometimes convey similar meanings differently. This study examined
whether listeners could learn to associate a specific linguistic 'style'with a certain speaker …

This study tested whether listeners adapt to speakerspecific prosody in anticipatory
processing, and, if so, whether adaptation is modulated by belief about the speaker's …

In this contribution we explore the hypothesis of an interaction between speaker-and listener-
specific strategies in the encoding and decoding of intonational contrasts Intonational …

ABSTRACT A growing body of research suggests that language users integrate diverse
sources of information in processing and adapt to the variability of language at multiple …

Predictions allow for efficient human communication. To be efficient, listeners' predictions
need to be adapted to the communicative context. Here we show that during speech …
