<ul>
 	<li>Grice’s Maxim of Quantity [1]: Speakers should produce only informa9on that is strictly necessary for identifying the target</li>
 	<li>However, it is possible to establish reference with either minimally-specified (MS; precise) or over-specified (OS; redundant) expressions</li>
 	<li>Moreover, speakers overspecify frequently and systematically [e.g., 2-6]</li>
