C04 - Conceptual and referential activation in discourse - CRC1252 (Prominence in Language)

As a basis for the current project, we propose that prominence relations are among the core features contributing to referent management - at the level of comprehension and at the level of discourse planning. We suggest that, in referent management, prominence-lending features affect two related processes: activation of a concept and activation of a referent. The overall goal of the project is to develop a discourse model that can account for some key features in discourse processing, in particular for those features that are associated with concept activation and referent activation.

作为当前项目的基石，我们提出显著性关系是构成指称管理核心特征之列，这一特征既体现在理解层面，也体现在话语规划层面。我们建议，在指称管理过程中，赋予显著性的特征会影响两个相互关联的过程：概念激活与指称激活。本项目总体目标在于构建一个话语模型，该模型能够阐释话语处理中的某些关键特征，尤其是与概念激活和指称激活相关的特征。
