Many areas of language-related research - language processing,
linguistic semantics/pragmatics, speech understanding and
synthesis, and psychological theories of attention - have shown an
increasing need to describe and understand aspects of discourse
anaphora in relation to both processing complexity and the global
structure of discourse. A major problem in this area is the large
gap between existing theories and accounts of actual phenomena in
naturally occurring discourse. This work is an account of one
aspect of discourse, local discourse structure, that makes specific
claims about both processing complexity and discourse anaphora. The
book focuses on Centering Theory's ability to account for data from
naturally occurring discourse in several languages. The
contributors test empirically several claims of Centering Theory,
propose extensions to and refinements of Centering, and show how
Centering can be integrated with other aspects of discourse
structure and processing.
