- Abstract
The article offers information on a paper focusing on the issues related to the comprehension of anaphoric reference. It mentions the issues analyzed in the paper, which include the relationship between the linguistic and non-linguistic knowledge in the interpretation of anaphora, and the proposition that reference assignment is delayed. It presents three experiments designed to test the proposition that there is invariably a delay built into reference assignment. One experiment manipulates type of reference (pronoun vs. ellipsis) and the particular point in the sentence where pragmatic inferences. Another experiment focuses on manipulating semantics and syntax. Third experiment measures the reading times by the subjects. The article supports the proposal that assignment is delayed.
