    "abstract": "Violations of the maxims of Quantity occur when utterances\nprovide more (over-specified) or less (under-specified)\ninformation than strictly required for referent identification.\nWhile behavioural data suggest that under-specified\nexpressions lead to comprehension difficulty and\ncommunicative failure, there is no consensus as to whether\nover-specified expressions are also detrimental to\ncomprehension. In this study we shed light on this debate,\nproviding neurophysiological evidence supporting the view\nthat extra information facilitates comprehension. We further\npresent novel evidence that referential failure due to underspecification\nis qualitatively different from explicit cases of\nreferential failure, when no matching referential candidate is\navailable in the context.",
