在某种意义上，大多数关于参考和话语结构的工作都诉诸于可访问性的概念。虽然“可访问性”一词本身在 Gundel、Hedberg 和 Zacharski 的 Givenness Hierarchy (GH) 框架的研究中很少被提及，但 GH 经常被其他人解释为可访问性层次结构。本文旨在澄清 GH 理论的主要主张和预测，展示它如何在许多方面与其他参照层次结构有根本的不同，最重要的是因为层次结构上的认知状态被假定为编码可访问性的方式，而不是可访问性的程度。因此，GH 与其他参考层次结构的不同之处不仅在于它旨在预测和解释的事实类型，而且还在于可以从其关于可访问性程度（通过处理的难易程度来衡量）方面合理地得出的具体经验预测。
Most work on reference and discourse structure appeals, in some sense, to the notion of accessibility. While the term "accessibility" itself is rarely mentioned in research within Gundel, Hedberg and Zacharski's Givenness Hierarchy (GH) framework, the GH has often been interpreted by others as an accessibility hierarchy. This paper aims to clarify the major claims and predictions of the GH theory, showing how it is fundamentally diff erent from other referential hierarchies in a number of ways, most importantly because cognitive statuses on the hierarchy are assumed to encode manner of accessibility, not degree of accessibility. The GH thus differs from the other referential hierarchies, not only in the kinds of facts it aims to predict and explain, but in the specific empirical predictions that can plausibly be derived from it regarding degree of accessibility, as measured by ease of processing.
