Identifying reference to abstract objects in dialogue

In two experiments, many annotators
marked antecedents for discourse deixis as
unconstrained regions of text. The experiments
show that annotators do converge on
the identity of these text regions, though
much of what they do can be captured by
a simple model. Demonstrative pronouns
are more likely than definite descriptions
to be marked with discourse antecedents.
We suggest that our methodology is suitable
for the systematic study of discourse
deixis.
