Propositional Integration and World-Knowledge Inference
The issue addressed in this study is whether propositional integration and world-knowledge inference can be distinguished as separate processes during the comprehension of Dutch omdat (because) sentences. “Propositional integration” refers to the process by which the reader establishes the type of relation between two clauses or sentences. “World-knowledge inference” refers to the process of deriving the general causal relation and checking it ag…
Overspecification in written instruction
A much debated question with respect to referential expressions is under what conditions speakers and writers produce overspecified expressions, i.e. expressions that contain more information than what is necessary for unique identification. In an earlier study we found that overspecifications facilitate the identification process for the understander, in particular if they contain complete object information and/or complete location information.…
World Knowledge in Computational Models of Discourse Comprehension
Because higher level cognitive processes generally involve the use of world knowledge, computational models of these processes require the implementation of a knowledge base. This article identifies and discusses 4 strategies for dealing with world knowledge in computational models: disregarding world knowledge, ad hoc selection, extraction from text corpora, and implementation of all knowledge about a simplified microworld. Each of these strateg…

The Role of Coherence Relations and Their Linguistic Markers in Text Processing
When readers process a text, they establish a coherent representation by means of coherence relations. This article focuses on the cognitive status of these relations. In an experiment using reading, verification, and free recall tasks, 2 crucial aspects of the structure of expository texts were investigated: the type of coherence relation between segments (problem-solution vs. list) and the linguistic marking of the relations by means of signali…
Memory‐based processing in understanding causal information
The reading process depends both on the text and on the reader. When we read a text, propositions in the current input are matched to propositions in the memory representation of the previous discourse but also to knowledge structures in longterm memory. Therefore, memory-based text processing refers both to the bottomup processing of the text and to the top-down activation of the reader's knowledge. In this article, we focus on the role of cogni…
Demonstrative nominal anaphors
Les As. presentent une perspective cognitivo-fonctionnelle de l'anaphore nominale demonstrative dans le discours. L'idee de depart est que le determinant demonstratif dans les SN anaphoriques ne peut pas etre considere comme un element marque permettant au lecteur de donner un meilleur acces au referent du discours
Coherence relations in a cognitive theory of discourse representation
Toward a taxonomy of coherence relations
Understanding a discourse means constructing a coherent representation of that discourse. Inferring coherence relations, such as cause‐consequence and claim‐argument, is a necessary condition for a discourse representation to be coherent. Despite some descriptively fairly adequate proposals in the literature, there is still no theoretically satisfying account of the links that make a discourse coherent. An adequate account of the relations establ…
