本文提出了一个研究语言中不同形式指称表达的分布和理解的模型。这一模式是用形式主义(Kamp&Reyle，1993)表达的，它使用解释规则将句法表征映射到话语表征上。对于名称、代词、明确描述和量化描述，制定了基本的解释规则。这些规则是由句法输入触发的，并与语篇的表征动态互动，以建立指称和共指。这种相互作用决定了在现有的语篇语境下，为不同的语言形式建立共指的难易程度。该模型的性能接近于对语法的直观判断的研究和使用在线语言理解测量的研究中观察到的结果。该模式使用相同的基本解释机制来处理句子内部和句子之间的相互指称，从而将生成语言学家传统上研究的领域与心理学家和计算语言学家主要关注的领域联系起来。
A model is presented that addresses both the distribution and comprehension of different forms of referring expressions in language. This model is expressed in a formalism (Kamp & Reyle, 1993) that uses interpretive rules to map syntactic representations onto representations of discourse. Basic interpretive rules are developed for names, pronouns, definite descriptions, and quantified descriptions. These rules are triggered by syntactic input and interact dynamically with representations of discourse to establish reference and coreference. This interaction determines the ease with which coreference can be established for different linguistic forms given the existing discourse context. The performance of the model approximates that observed in studies of intuitive judgments of grammaticality and studies using online measures of language comprehension. The model uses the same basic interpretive mechanisms for coreference within and between sentences, thereby linking the domain traditionally studied by generative linguists to domains that have been of concern primarily to psychologists and computational linguists.
