What is a mentions market on Polymarket?
A market on whether someone says a word or phrase at an event.
Definition
A mentions market asks whether a person will say a certain word or phrase during an event, such as a speech, a press conference or an earnings call.

Traders who do well here study transcripts of past events, so it is a speciality of its own.
