Strong semantic biases make demonstrative pronouns act like personal pronouns
Glossa, 2023 Anaphoric demonstrative pronouns (d-pronouns), which are found in some languages in addition to the more common personal pronouns (p-pronouns), provide an interesting test case for theories of pronoun resolution.

Verb argument structure predicts implicit causality: The advantages of finer-grained semantics [PDF]
, 2014 While the referent of a nonreflexive pronoun clearly depends on context, the nature of these contextual restrictions is controversial. The present study seeks to characterise one representation that guides pronoun resolution. Our focus is an effect known

BMC Neuroscience, 2006 Background It is well known that both semantic and syntactic information play a role in pronoun resolution in sentences. However, it is unclear what the relative contribution of these sources of information is for the establishment of a coreferential ...

The interpretation of German personal pronouns and d-pronouns
Zeitschrift für Sprachwissenschaft, 2019 Three experiments investigated the interpretation and production of pronouns in German. The first two experiments probed the preferred interpretation of a pronoun in contexts containing two potential antecedents by having participants complete a sentence

Gender Marking and Clitic Pronoun Resolution in Simultaneous Bilingual Children
Languages, 2022 The acquisition of clitics still remains a highly controversial issue in Greek acquisition literature despite the bulk of studies performed. Object clitics have been shown to be early acquired by monolingual children in terms of production rates, whereas

Between anaphora and deixis...the resolution of the demonstrative noun-phrase ‘that N’ [PDF]
, 2011 Three experiments examined the hypothesis that the demonstrative noun phrase (NP) that N, as an anadeictic expression, preferentially refers to the less salient referent in a discourse representation when used anaphorically, whereas the anaphoric pronoun

The interplay of implicit causality, structural heuristics, and anaphor type in ambiguous pronoun resolution [PDF]
, 2016 Two visual-world eye-tracking experiments investigating pronoun resolution in Finnish examined the time course of implicit causality information relative to both grammatical role and order-of-mention information. Experiment 1 showed an effect of implicit

A Tableau Calculus for Pronoun Resolution
, 1999 We present a tableau calculus for reasoning in fragments of natural language. We focus on the problem of pronoun resolution and the way in which it complicates automated theorem proving for natural language processing. A method for explicitly manipulating contextual information during deduction is proposed, where pronouns are resolved against this ...

EEG-Based Decoding of Neural Mechanisms Underlying Impersonal Pronoun Resolution
AlgorithmsPronoun resolution is essential for language comprehension, yet the neural mechanisms underlying this process remain poorly characterized. Here, we investigate the neural dynamics of impersonal pronoun processing using electroencephalography combined ...
