Acoustic-prosodic entrainment in Slovak, Spanish, English and Chinese: A cross-linguistic comparison

It is well established that speakers of Standard American English entrain, or become more similar to each other as they speak, in acoustic-prosodic features of their speech as well as other behaviors. Entrainment in other languages is less well understood. This work uses a variety of metrics to meas...
