    "abstract": "Speakers exhibit variability in their choice between uncertaintyexpressions such as might and probably. Recent work hasfound that listeners cope with such variability by updating theirexpectations about how a specific speaker uses uncertainty ex-pressions when interacting with a single speaker. However, itis still unclear to what extent listeners form speaker-specificexpectations for multiple speakers and to what extent listenersare adapting to a situation independent of the speakers. Here,we take a first step towards answering these questions. In Ex-periment 1, listeners formed speaker-specific expectations af-ter being exposed to two speakers whose use of uncertaintyexpressions differed. In Experiment 2, listeners who were ex-posed to two speakers with identical use of uncertainty expres-sions formed considerably stronger expectations than in Exper-iment 1. This suggests that listeners form both speaker-specificand situation-specific expectations. We discuss the implica-tions of these results for theories of adaptation.",
