“…When language users speak with one another, whether they are native speakers of the same language (Pardo, 2006), of different varieties of a language (Babel, 2010; Kim, Horton, & Bradlow, 2011), different idiolects (Pardo, 2013) or of different languages altogether (Sancier & Fowler, 1997), adaptation takes place at every level of language (Bock, 1986; Dunstan, 2010; Hohenstein, Eisenberg, & Naigles, 2006; Liberman, 2012). For example, Pardo (2006), found that the speech of native speakers of American English became more similar during conversational interaction, as measured by listeners’ judgments.…”
