Whether this principle also applies to nonverbal communication signals is still under investigation. We perform empirical analyses of video-recorded dialogue data and investigate whether listener gaze, as an important nonverbal communication signal, adheres to the ERC principle. Results show (1) that the ERC principle holds for listener gaze; and (2) that the two linguistic factors syntactic complexity and turn transition potential are weakly correlated with local entropy of listener gaze.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","project":[{"_id":"112","name":"TRR 318 - A02: TRR 318 - Verstehensprozess einer Erklärung beobachten und auswerten (Teilprojekt A02)"}],"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://aclanthology.org/2024.findings-acl.210/","open_access":"1"}],"year":"2024","publication":"Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics ACL 2024","quality_controlled":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"place":"Bangkok, Thailand","type":"conference"}
