TL;DR: Event-related brain potentials were recorded while subjects listened to sentences containing a controlled infinitival complement and showed that for both subject and object control items ungrammatical adjectives elicited a P600 effect, implying that the processor has coindexed the null subject with an antecedent, and that the antecedents have been selected on the basis of control information.

TL;DR: A heuristic algorithm for detection of the indirect antecedents for dialogue phrases based on the use of a dictionary of prototypic scenarios associated with each headword as well as of a thesaurus of the standard type is presented.
Abstract: Resolution of referential ambiguity is one of the most challenging problems of natural language processing. Especially frequently it is faced within dialogues. We present a heuristic algorithm for detection of the indirect antecedents for dialogue phrases based on the use of a dictionary of prototypic scenarios associated with each headword as well as of a thesaurus of the standard type. The conditions for filtration of the candidates for the antecedent are presented. We also present a similar algorithm for reconstruction of elliptical phrases of a special kind using a combinatory dictionary.

TL;DR: In this article, any c-commanding DPs in the sentence can serve as an antecedent for caki, including the non-subject Mary, and any of the c-commanded DPs can be used as an example of a non-complementary non-commended DPs for the Korean long distance anaphor caki.
Abstract: In the existing literature, the Korean long-distance anaphor caki is often described as subject-oriented, meaning that its antecedent is always a clausal subject (Yang 1985, Cole and Sung 1994). But the potential for non-subject antecedents has also been noted elsewhere (Kim 2000, Madigan and Yamada 2006). In (1), any of the c-commanding DPs in the sentence can serve as an antecedent for caki, including the non-subject Mary.

TL;DR: This work considers several types of referential dependencies: those between bound pronouns and their antecedents, e.g. weak crossover and the classical binding conditions, and suggests that a relevant factor in determining the well-formedness of such dependencies is the linear order in which the elements appear.

TL;DR: In this article, interest and ideology are offered as antecedent variables to claims-making and as the critical factors which determine why some claims are more marketable than others in a micro-interaction context.
Abstract: Social constructionists have produced a rich theoretical and empirical literature on the rise and fall of public issues. By focusing exclusively on claims-making behavior in a micro interactive context, social constructionists, in the tradition of Spector and Kitsuse, generally have rejected efforts to link claims-making to antecedent variables. Thus they often treat claims-making participants as activities, devoid of motives, meanings, and intentions. In this paper, ideology and interest are offered as antecedent variables to claims-making and as the critical factors which determine why some claims are more marketable than others. Interest and ideology also are examined as both subjective and structural/cultural phenomena.
