- Abstract
- Language and Information 8.2 , 47–72. In general, it is
assumed that a pronoun refers to the same individual as the referent of its
antecedent. However, when a pronoun and its antecedent are in different information
or belief states, the two may not refer to the same individual. Then
a question arises what a pronoun refers to. In this paper, two cases are considered.
When a pronoun occurs in an attitude context, one case is where its
antecedent occurs in a belief context, and the other is where the antecedent
occurs in the main context. I propose that a pronoun refers to an individual
concept which links two different subjects in two different contexts, and that
the selection of a proper individual concept is restricted by the discourse. So a
pronoun can be used felicitously only when there is a unique individual concept
supported by the individual concept introduced by the discourse and which can
link two subjects in two different contexts.
