On the Durational Reduction of Repeated Mentions: Recency and Speaker Effects

Viktor Trón


Abstract
There are conflicting views in the literature as to the role of listener-adaptive processes in language production in general and articulatory reduction in particular. We present two novel pieces of corpus evidence that corroborate the hypothesis that non-lexical variation of durations is related to the speed of retrieval of stored motor code chunks and durational reduction is the result of facilitatory priming.
