Perspective-shifting and anaphora: Experimental investigations

Many aspects of language comprehension are dependent on the identification of a perspectival/point-of-view anchor, who provides the perspectival center for interpreting the content of an utterance. To fully interpret epithets (ex.1a), evaluative adjectives (ex.1b), predicates of personal taste (ex.1c), epistemic modals (ex.1d) and adverbials of possibility (ex.1e), we need to know whose opinion/perspective/knowledge is being referred to.
