This book explores the factors affecting choice of noun phrase in texts from the perspective of the referring expression and identity chain. To do this, the author focuses on the concepts of text, discourse, reference, coreference, and anaphora, elaborating a new system of classification for noun phrases based on the kind of reference that they entail. What factors make a given expression more effective as a means of designating a given referent depends in general on relevance and, especially, on what is mutually manifest. Through analysis of a corpus, it is shown that each kind of...
