Narrative:

Ground control cleared us to taxi to runway 19R via txwys B, M, east. Approaching runway 25R on taxiway east we were the #3 aircraft for runway 19R. Just after I switched the captain observed a single engine cessna on short final for runway 25R. He immediately stopped and we switched back to ground inquiring about the traffic landing runway 25L. Ground said they advised us that they had called us and said either 'they thought we heard them or they thought they heard us respond.' we neither heard the call or responded, the only communication was the initial clearance.
