Lexical acc ess in shared task settings: how a task partner’s speaking can interfere with or facilitate own speaking

Language is a social ins trument that enables communication and social interaction. Speaking in a social interaction places unique demands on our cognitive system that a re met by additional processes such as social cognition, interpersonal c oordination, and multi-sensory integration. In this talk I will focus on how a speaker’s lexical access is shaped by social interaction. I will present a series of experimental studies that adapt picture-naming tasks typically used in speech production research to a social setting in whi ch two speakers take turns speaking. We tested whether the speed with wh ich a speaker could name a picture was shaped by whether the partner’s p receding utterance was semantically related or unrelated. Our findings s uggests that one partner’s speaking generates semantic context that affe cts the lexical retrieval of the next speaker’s turn. Whether this effec t facilitates or interferes with lexical access is revealing of how a ta sk partner’s utterances are represented and seems to depend on the natur e of the social setting. My work advocates going beyond single-speaker s ettings to understand language production in social interaction.
