    "abstract": "In situated communication, reference to an entity in theshared visual context can be established using either anexpression that conveys precise (minimally specified) orredundant (over-specified) information. There is, however, along-lasting debate in psycholinguistics concerning whetherthe latter hinders referential processing. We present evidencefrom an eye tracking experiment recording fixations as wellas the Index of Cognitive Activity – a novel measure ofcognitive workload – supporting the view that over-specifications facilitate processing. We further presentoriginal evidence that, above and beyond the effect ofspecificity, referring expressions that uniformly reducereferential entropy also benefit processing.",
