不完整描述理论面临的挑战是捕获“索贝尔序列”的一致性，并解释索贝尔序列和“逆索贝尔序列”话语可接受性的不对称性。与许多其他理论不同，大卫·刘易斯的不完全描述理论回答了索贝尔序列的挑战，但它没有回答逆索贝尔序列的挑战。本文提出了索贝尔序列和逆索贝尔序列的照应读数可用性中的另一种不对称性，并根据其理由提出了对原始不对称性的解释。这为刘易斯理论的挑战提供了答案。
A challenge for theories of incomplete descriptions is to capture the consistency of ‘Sobel sequences’ and to account for an asymmetry in the acceptability of utterances of Sobel sequences and ‘reverse Sobel sequences’. David Lewis’s theory of incomplete descriptions answers, unlike many other theories, the challenge from Sobel sequences, but it does not answer the challenge from reverse Sobel sequences. This article presents another asymmetry in the availability of anaphoric readings of Sobel sequences and reverse Sobel sequences, and proposes an explanation of the original asymmetry on its grounds. This provides an answer to the challenge for Lewis’s theory.
