- W3155915259 abstract "We test the claim that the use of short definite descriptions (SDDs) for referent mentions in discourse (e.g. the country) corresponds to a specific range of referent activation in the speaker’s working memory, lower than the activation level necessary for pronoun use and higher than the level corresponding to proper names (PNs). Data from the WSJ MoRA 2020 corpus of English written texts suggest that the use of SDDs and PNs corresponds to one and the same activation range. Referential distance is highly correlated with activation, and we compare the distribution of two distance metrics, linear distance and rhetorical distance, across SDDs and PNs. We have found the differences to be statistically insignificant. Furthermore, we demonstrate on the corpus data that at least four factors operate that affect the choice between SDDs and PNs, while not being directly related to activation, namely: referent animacy, referent number, relative length of the SDD and the PN for the given referent, and prior mentions of the referent by means of an SDD within the current text." @default.
