Abstract
⺠Voice areas are more active upon hearing monotonous direct speech quotations. ⺠Monotonous indirect speech quotations elicit less activation in those areas. ⺠This pattern cannot be explained by stimuli's acoustic features or vividness. ⺠Listeners expect vivid vocal depictions for direct speech but not for indirect speech. ⺠They mentally simulate such depictions to “supplement” monotonous direct speech.
