Structural constraints on pronoun binding and coreference: Evidence from eye movements during reading

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
A number of recent studies have investigated how syntactic and non-syntactic constraints combine to cue memory retrieval during anaphora resolution. In this paper we investigate how syntactic constraints and gender congruence interact to guide memory ...

Design and enhanced evaluation of a robust anaphor resolution algorithm [PDF]

, 2001
Syntactic coindexing restrictions are by now known to be of central importance to practical anaphor resolution approaches. Since, in particular due to structural ambiguity, the assumption of the availability of a unique syntactic reading proves to be ...

The Role of Physical Inference in Pronoun Resolution.

, 2021
When do people use knowledge about the world in order to comprehend language? We asked whether pronoun resolution decisions are influenced by knowledge about physical plausibility. Results showed that referents which are more physically plausible in described events were more likely to be selected as antecedents of ambiguous pronouns, implying that ...

Hierarchical Discourse-Semantic Modeling for Zero Pronoun Resolution in Chinese

Big Data and Cognitive Computing
Understanding discourse context is fundamental to human language comprehension. Despite the remarkable progress achieved by Large Language Models, they still struggle with discourse-level anaphora resolution, particularly in Chinese.

Famous protagonists interfere with discourse topicality during pronoun resolution

Glossa Psycholinguistics
The aim of the current study is to assess the impact of the wider discourse on pronoun interpretation. We specifically look at German demonstrative pronouns (dieser) in comparison to personal pronouns (er), investigating whether dieser-demonstratives are

Approaches to Anaphora Resolution in a Natural Language Database Management System

Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics, 1986
This paper describes in detail the computational process of finding the non-indexical linguistic objects to which pronoun anaphoras resolve. The successful development of discrete steps for anaphora resolution is critical for any natural language ...
