Is there a #linguistic term for an interlocutor saying the last word of the previous speaker’s sentence in unison with them? Not just occasionally or when the previous speaker is having trouble recalling a word, but nearly every sentence, possibly even when that sentence is not the end of a turn? I’m looking for articles or research about this out of personal curiosity.
@abdalian@linguistics there is one because some neuroD people (ADHD and autism, if I remember correctly) do this, but the exact term escapes me at the moment
@abdalian@linguistics since I see you got your proper answer, here's a silly one...
