Examining how topicality impacts pronoun resolution in second language processing [PDF]
Frontiers in Human NeuroscienceIn research on second language (L2) processing, the processing of reference has been highlighted as a domain of particular difficulty, but the source of the difficulty is not well understood.

Rules of engagement: incomplete and complete pronoun resolution. [PDF]
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn, 2011 Research on shallow processing suggests that readers sometimes encode only a superficial representation of a text and fail to make use of all available information. Greene, McKoon, and Ratcliff (1992) extended this work to pronouns, finding evidence that readers sometimes fail to automatically identify referents even when these are unambiguous. In this

Discourse Coherence and Pronoun Resolution [PDF]
Language and Cognitive Processes, 2006 This paper used self-paced reading to test processing preferences in pronoun interpretation in English two clause sentences. The results demonstrate that people's preferences can be reversed by changing the coherence relation between the clauses. The results are not compatible with the existence of a single all-purpose strategy in pronoun resolution ...

PLoS ONE, 2022 The mechanism of anaphora resolution is subject to large cross-linguistic differences. The most likely reason for this is the different sensitivity of pronouns to the range of factors that determine their reference.

A Bayesian Approach to German Personal and Demonstrative Pronouns
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 When faced with an ambiguous pronoun, an addressee must interpret it by identifying a suitable referent. It has been proposed that the interpretation of pronouns can be captured using Bayes’ Rule: P(referent|pronoun) ∝ P(pronoun|referent)P(referent ...

Pseudo Zero Pronoun Resolution Improves Zero Anaphora Resolution [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2021 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, 2021 Masked language models (MLMs) have contributed to drastic performance improvements with regard to zero anaphora resolution (ZAR). To further improve this approach, in this study, we made two proposals. The first is a new pretraining task that trains MLMs on anaphoric relations with explicit supervision, and the second proposal is a new finetuning ...
