If a pronoun in a subordinate clause has more than one potential antecedent in the main clause, then the pronoun tends to refer to the antecedent which has a certain thematic role (depending on the verb and on the subordinating conjunction). In contrast...
متن کاملEvaluating Optimality Theory for Pronoun Resolution Algorithm Specification
A recent paper (Beaver, 2004) recasts the Centering algorithm for pronoun resolution (Brennan et al., 1987) in terms of optimality theory (OT). Although the limitations of centering for pronoun resolution are well known, the algorithm's restatement in OT highlights the strengths of centering and produces an algorithm whose behavior is more transparent to the developer. The authors' motivation f...
