Computational Models of Referring: A Study in Cognitive Science

by Kees van Deemter

An argument that computational models can shed light on referring, a fundamental and much-studied aspect of communication.

To communicate, speakers need to make it clear what they are talking about. The act of referring, which anchors words to things, is a fundamental aspect of language.
