If you've ever caught yourself talking to someone and thought,"Gee, I sound just like them", it might be a sign that you're engaged in the conversation or the task at hand.Over the years, researchers have found that when two people discuss an alluring topic, the sounds of their speech are more likely to converge.
This leaves the possibility that the goal of a task and the level of participant engagement can influence the sounds of a person's speech. Researchers split 52 native English speakers into pairs. These pairs then had to complete a series of tasks together. The more engaging the task, the more convergence the researchers ultimately heard in the speech of Talker A and Talker B.
