在指称表达式自动生成的研究中，扩展了处理回指指称的完全确定np生成算法。然而，关于复数回指所引起的具体问题的研究相对较少。特别是，由于复数涉及到一个集合而不是一个个体，一个有趣的问题是，与复数本身相比，由复数引入的集合的元素在多大程度上是突出的。本文通过对一个小的、注释丰富的语料库的研究，对这些问题进行了初步的探索。我们讨论了一些研究结果对自动引用表达式生成的影响，并为未来的工作确定了一些富有成效的途径。
Research on the automatic generation of referring expressions has extended algorithms for the generation of full definite NPs to deal with anaphoric references. However, there has been relatively little work on the specific problems raised by plural anaphora. In particular, since plurals involve a reference to a set rather than an individual, one of the interesting questions concerns the extent to which elements of the set introduced by a plurality are salient, as compared to the plurality itself. This paper offers a preliminary exploration of these questions through a study of a small, richly annotated corpus. We discuss the implications of some of the findings for automatic referring expression generation, and also identify some fruitful avenues for future work.
