本文研究了对从句引入实体的引用，并提出了一个解释，为什么这些实体更容易用于指示代词而不是人称代词it的直接后续引用。新的证据支持这样的建议，即这些实体通常被激活，但在它们被引入话语时没有被聚焦。该研究还进一步揭示了信息结构、词汇语义、预设语境和句法结构在使一个实体成为关注焦点方面的作用。
This paper investigates reference to clausally introduced entities and proposes an explanation for why these are more readily available to immediate subsequent reference with a demonstrative pronoun than with the personal pronoun,it. New evidence is provided supporting proposals that such entities are typically activated, but not brought into focus, upon their introduction into a discourse. The study also provides further insight into the role of information structure, lexical semantics, presuppositional contexts, and syntactic structure in bringing an entity into focus of attention.
