초록
Anaphoric phenomena happen not only in the intra-sentence domain, but also in the inter-sentence domain. This paper focuses on resolving pronoun interpretation at the inter-sentence level, in particular in the monologue discourse, in comparison to the most recent studies at the intra-sentence level. Of particular concern is research for seeking a proper algorithm that determines the discourse referent as anaphora for referring expressions if there is more than one antecedent in the monologue discourse. The algorithm is for calculating which referent is preferred to others, when more than one referent is given in the previous discourse as a candidate of the antecedent of anaphora in the current utterance. To do so, this paper aims to investigate how to identify candidates of antecedents in monologue dicourse, and how to select an antecedent of the anaphora from a list of candidates. Two algorithms for resolving pronoun interpretation are also investigated. In this regard, this paper presents some preferences for selecting an antecedent from the candidates in Section Ⅱ, investigates a salience weight algorithm and a centering algorithm in Section Ⅲ, and discusses some features and limitations of them in Section Ⅳ.
Abstract
Anaphoric phenomena happen not only in the intra-sentence domain, but also in the inter-sentence domain. This paper focuses on resolving pronoun interpretation at the inter-sentence level, in particular in the monologue discourse, in comparison to the most recent studies at the intra-sentence level. Of particular concern is research for seeking a proper algorithm that determines the discourse referent as anaphora for referring expressions if there is more than one antecedent in the monologue discourse. The algorithm is for calculating which referent is preferred to others, when more than one referent is given in the previous discourse as a candidate of the antecedent of anaphora in the current utterance. To do so, this paper aims to investigate how to identify candidates of antecedents in monologue dicourse, and how to select an antecedent of the anaphora from a list of candidates. Two algorithms for resolving pronoun interpretation are also investigated. In this regard, this paper presents some preferences for selecting an antecedent from the candidates in Section Ⅱ, investigates a salience weight algorithm and a centering algorithm in Section Ⅲ, and discusses some features and limitations of them in Section Ⅳ.
