Applying the Givenness Hierarchy Framework: Methodological Issues
This paper will discuss methodological issues that arise in applying the Givenness Hierarchy framework (Gundel, Hedberg and Zacharski, 1993, Language) to describe the reference systems of different languages. The Givenness Hierarchy is a set of six ‘cognitive statuses’ that govern the use of different determiner and pronominal forms in languages. These statuses constitute different psychologica...
متن کامل1 Underspecification of Cognitive Status in Reference Production : Some Empirical Predictions
Within the Givenness Hierarchy framework of Gundel, Hedberg, & Zacharski (1993), lexical items included in referring forms are assumed to conventionally encode two kinds of information: conceptual information about the speaker’s intended referent and procedural information about the assumed cognitive status of that referent in the mind of the addressee, the latter encoded by various determiners...
متن کاملNever Look Back: An Alternative to Centering
I propose a model for determining the hearer's attentional state which depends solely on a list of salient discourse entities (S-list). The ordering among the elements of the S-list covers also the function of the backward-looking center in the centering model. The ranking criteria for the S-list are based on the distinction between hearer-old and hearer-new discourse entities and incorporate p...
متن کاملA full Nesterov-Todd step infeasible interior-point algorithm for symmetric cone linear complementarity problem
A full Nesterov-Todd (NT) step infeasible interior-point algorithm is proposed for solving monotone linear complementarity problems over symmetric cones by using Euclidean Jordan algebra. Two types of full NT-steps are used, feasibility steps and centering steps. The algorithm starts from strictly feasible iterates of a perturbed problem, and, using the central path and feasi...
متن کاملFunctional Centering - Grounding Referential Coherence in Information Structure
Considering empirical evidence from a free-word-order language (German) we propose a revision of the principles guiding the ordering of discourse entities in the forward-looking center list within the centering model. We claim that grammatical role criteria should be replaced by criteria that reflect the functional information structure of the utterances. These new criteria are based on the dis...
