“…Note that (2) is not specifically a model of language production; it is simply Bayes' Rule, a theorem that establishes that the conditional probability on the left is proportional to the combination of the prior and likelihood on the right (for other applications in linguistics, see Kehler and Rohde, 2013;Rohde and Kurumada, 2018;Franke and Jäger, 2016). If predictive language processing depends in part on comprehenders' ability to reverse engineer what utterance a speaker is likely to be producing, casting the interpretation problem as in (2) highlights the two factors which determine the probability that a speaker is talking about a particular object.…”

“…More generally, relatively little is known about the extent to which listeners take into account alternative causes when interpreting linguistic input. Some studies have found similar effects on other aspects of language understanding-in particular, alternative causes presented in explicit instructions (e.g., Arnold et al, 2007;Dix et al, 2018;Grodner & Sedivy, 2011;Kurumada, Brown, Bibyk, & Tanenhaus, 2018, as summarized in Rohde & Kurumada, 2018). For example, listeners tend to anticipate unfamiliar objects as referents after a speech disfluency ("Click on [pause] thee uh red .…”

“…Societal clinical reporting guidelines can synchronize the expected information content to be communicated between physicians for given types of investigations [103]. This allows the reader of a report to derive interpretations beyond what can be inferred from words alone by leveraging diverse pragmatic knowledge [104]. Thus, although various language complexities are common in medical reports (e.g., lexical and referential ambiguity, ellipsis, and punctuation ambiguity), they can often be mentally corrected from within this overarching expectation model [105].…”
