Pseudo Incorporation and Anaphoricity: Evidence from Persian
Glossa, 2021 The paper investigates the discourse effects of bare nominal pseudo-incorporated objects in Persian. Contrary to claims that such nominals cannot be antecedents to anaphora, experimental results show that that their anaphoric potential is only somewhat ...

L1 grammatical attrition through the acquisition of competing L2 discourse features [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyA question in language acquisition research is whether attrition can affect L1 grammatical representation, and if so, under what conditions. This paper tests the Attrition via Acquisition (AvA) model, which takes a Feature Reassembly approach to predict ...

Learning-Based Single-Document Summarization with Compression and Anaphoricity Constraints [PDF]
Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2016 We present a discriminative model for single-document summarization that integrally combines compression and anaphoricity constraints. Our model selects textual units to include in the summary based on a rich set of sparse features whose weights are ...

Anaphoricity in Connectives: A Case Study on German

The interpretative options of anaphoric complex demonstratives
Glossa, 2022 In this paper, we present experimental evidence from a ‘yes’/‘no’ judgement task and two acceptability rating studies (Experiments 1a-c) for the claim made in Hinterwimmer (2019) that sentences with two anaphorically interpreted complex demonstratives ...
