过去的研究表明，当说话者多次提到同一个指称物时。他们倾向于通过建立语言先例来使他们的描述标准化。在三个实验中，我们表明听者通过利用这些先例来减少理解中的不确定性。我们在一个参照交流任务中跟踪了听者的眼球运动，发现当有特定的先例时，听者识别参照的速度比没有先例时要快。此外，我们发现听者期望讲话者坚持先例，即使在这种情况下，它会导致参考过度规范。最后。我们提供的证据表明，语言先例的好处是独立于相互知识的——当先例是相互了解的时候，听者并不比不相互了解的时候更有可能从先例中受益。我们的结论是，听者使用先例仅仅是因为它们是可用的。不是因为它们是相互认识的。(C) 2001 Elsevier Science（美国）
Past research has shown that when Speakers refer to the same referent multiple times. they tend to standardize their descriptions by establishing linguistic precedents. In three experiments, we show that listeners reduce uncertainty in comprehension by taking advantage of these precedents. We tracked listeners' eye movements in a referential communication task and found that listeners identified referents more quickly when specific precedents existed than when there were none. Furthermore, we found that listeners expected speakers to adhere to precedents even in contexts where it would lead to referential overspecification. Finally. we provide evidence that the benefits of linguistic precedents are independent of mutual knowledge-listeners were not more likely to benefit from precedents when they were mutually known than when they were not. We conclude that listeners use precedents simply because they are available. not because they are mutually known. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science (USA).
