 In conversation, in order to establish common ground and make referencing known concepts or objects easier, speakers work together to establish definite references.Unlike the literary model of definite reference, which takes into account only what the speaker does to create the definite reference; the conversational model has the speaker and the listener working together.The listener is interpreting at the same time as the speaker is talking, and the speaker may have to edit to rephrase what is being said based on how the listener reacts.
