我们提出了两个实验，研究如何事先话语上下文，特别是不同的信息的相对显着性，影响的句法结构，扬声器分配给随后的话语。在两种语言（英语和西班牙语）的图片描述任务中，发言者产生的句法结构，允许一个实体由前面的话语突出之前的一个不显着的实体。这种倾向在显著实体有生命时比无生命时更强。我们认为，当话语使一个实体比另一个更显着，它暂时使该实体更容易接近。我们建议，这种派生的可访问性是添加到一个实体的固有的可访问性，这是由其内在的语义特征。我们讨论了这种方法，根据以前的工作，强调信息可及性的重要性，在句法处理（例如，Bock &欧文，1980; Bock & Warren，1985; McDonald，Bock，& Kelly，1993; Osgood，1971; Sridhar，1988）。
We present two experiments that examine how prior discourse context, and in particular the relative salience of different pieces of information, influences the syntactic structure that a speaker assigns to a subsequent utterance. In a picture description task in two languages (English and Spanish), speakers produced syntactic structures that allowed an entity made salient by a preceding discourse to precede a nonsalient entity. This tendency was stronger when the salient entity was animate than when it was inanimate. We suggest that when discourse makes one entity more salient than another, it temporarily makes that entity more accessible. We propose that such derived accessibility is additive to an entity's inherent accessibility, which is determined by its intrinsic semantic features. We discuss this approach in the light of previous work which emphasizes the importance of information accessibility in syntactic processing (e.g., Bock & Irwin, 1980; Bock & Warren, 1985; McDonald, Bock, & Kelly, 1993; Osgood, 1971; Sridhar, 1988).
