The Anaphor-Antecedent Match: Issues for Referring Expressions Generation
The design of referring expressions generation algorithms that produce descriptions closer to human performance may benefit from evidence on how human speakers actually interpret these descriptions. To shed light on this issue, in this paper we present an experiment to measure the time required for the interpretation of matching and non-matching anaphoric definite description pairs. Preliminary...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Anaphor Features and Antecedent Retrieval: Comparing Mandarin Ziji and Ta-Ziji
In the present study we report two self-paced reading experiments that investigate antecedent retrieval processes in sentence comprehension by contrasting the real-time processing behavior of two different reflexive anaphors in Mandarin Chinese. Previous work has suggested that comprehenders initially evaluate the fit between the morphologically simple long-distance reflexive "ziji" and the clo...
متن کاملOn Pregroups, Freedom, and (Virtual) Conceptual Necessity
Pregroups were introduced in (Lambek, 1999), and provide a foundation for a particularly simple syntactic calculus. Buszkowski (2001) showed that free pregroup grammars generate exactly the -free context-free languages. Here we characterize the class of languages generable by all pregroups, which will be shown to be the entire class of recursively enumerable languages. To show this result, we r...
متن کاملConstraints on anaphor movement
2. Fronting pattern follows from three ranked, violable constraints: Antecedent: An anaphor has an accessible antecedent, i.e. an anaphor has an antecedent and the anaphor does not precede and c-command its antecedent (Hankamer and Sag, 1976). >> TopFirst: Topic is clause initial, i.e. if a syntactic constituent is topic it is clause initial (= in Spec-CP; cf. Costa 2001:176). >> SubjFirst: Sub...
متن کاملOne True Anaphor
1.0 Introduction In this paper I will argue that there is only one true anaphor in natural language which takes many shapes. Building on the idea that some pronouns are constructed and others are 'native born' with features, as suggested in Kratzer (2009), I suggest further that, just like locally bound variables, all non-locally anteceded bound variable pronouns that are traditionally bound (c...
