A Hierarchical Account of Referential Accessibility
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we outline a theory of referential accessibility called Veins Theory (VT). We show how VT addresses the problem of "left satellites", currently a problem for stack-based models, and show that VT can be used to significantly reduce the search space for antecedents. We also show that VT provides a better model for determining domains of referential accessibility, and discuss how VT can be used to address various issues of structural ambiguity.

Reference, Procedures and Implicitly Communicated Meaning*
This paper makes two main claims. Firstly, by taking seriously the idea that referring expressions carry information which interacts with relevance theory principles, we can formulate an account of referring expression use that does not rely on the linguistic marking of Accessibility, Givenness or similar notions. Secondly, a relevance-theoretic analysis allows us to look beyond the mere act of...

Notwithstanding conclusive psychological and corpus evidence that at least some aspects of anaphoric and referential interpretation take place incrementally, and the existence of some computational models of incremental reference resolution, many aspects of the linguistics of incremental reference interpretation still have to be better understood. We propose a model of incremental reference int...

متن کاملTurning the Web into an Effective Knowledge Repository
The weight of dynamically generated content versus static content has progressed enormously. Preserving accessibility to this type of content raises new issues. However, there are no large-scale mechanisms to enforce referential integrity in the WWW. We propose a system, comprised of a distributed web-proxy and cache architecture, to access and automatically manage web content, static and dynam...
متن کاملHow Speakers Refer: The Role of Accessibility
One of the core components of language is referring, which requires the speaker to choose between expressions that are highly explicit (e.g., the UNC professor, or Peter), and reduced lexical forms (e.g., he). This paper reviews claims that this process is largely driven by the accessibility or salience of the referent, and the psychological processes that underlie these effects. Two classes of...
