Fundamental to all human languages is an unlimited expressive capacity and creative
flexibility that allow speakers to rapidly generate novel and complex utterances. In turn …

Despite the existence of speech errors, verbal communication is successful because
speakers can detect (and correct) their errors. The standard theory of speech-error detection …

One of the best known claims about human communication is that people's behaviour and
language use converge during conversation. It has been proposed that these patterns can …

This paper considers the nature of second language dialogues, involving at least one non-
native (L2) speaker. We assume that dialogue is characterised by a process in which …

When we interact with one another, we tend to align our behaviors, including the way we
talk. Psycholinguistic work has conceptualized alignment as the result of automatic cognitive …

A growing body of evidence shows that dialogue involves a process of synchronization
across speakers at different semiotic levels. In this paper, we study which factors predict this …

We examine prosodic entrainment in cooperative game dialogs for new feature sets
describing register, pitch accent shape, and rhythmic aspects of utterances. For these as …

Over the last decade, there has been much discussion among social psychologists about
automaticity in relation to the control of social behaviour. In this chapter, we discuss …

We report four structural priming experiments investigating the syntactic and semantic
processes involved in producing coerced and full-form sentences (eg, The bricklayer began …

Interactive language use inherently involves a process of coordination, which often leads to
matching behaviour between interlocutors in different semiotic channels. We study this …
