Conventions in transcripts; References; IndexIt is a major challenge for linguists to explore the relations between referential choice and the discourse structure in dialogues, because, unlike written modes of discourse, dialogue as an interactional mode of discourse needs careful treatment for linguistic analysis. This book investigates how discourse entities are linked with topic chaining and discourse coherence by showing that the choice and the distribution of referring expressions is correlated with center transition patterns in the centering framework. It provides original empirical research into the use of referring expressions inPragmatics & beyond ;v. 208.Grammar, Comparative and generalTopic and commentGrammar, Comparative and generalNoun phraseEnglish languageGrammar, ComparativeJapaneseJapanese languageGrammar, ComparativeEnglishDiscourse analysisGrammar, Comparative and generalTopic and comment.Grammar, Comparative and generalNoun phrase.English languageGrammar, ComparativeJapanese.Japanese languageGrammar, ComparativeEnglish.Discourse analysis.495.6/5Yoshida Etsuko1187555MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781314403321Referring expressions in English and Japanese3672443UNINA
