ABSTRACT

However, the reverse is also possible. If language users are more densely

connected it may be more likely that they have established a richer common

ground overall. If so, language use may contain more information-dense words

specific to a shared context (Doyle & Frank, submitted). A fourth prediction is

that more network connectivity over a smaller group (higher-network degree) may

afford more complex language use, and so lead to higher AUI and ACI.
