| Abstrakt: | AbstractIndefinite one-anaphors (e.g. one as in “Phil gave Bob a doughnut because he asked for one”) are at the same time pronominal and indefinite. It is investigated in a small corpus study of unscripted spoken Danish dialogue whether referents of indefinite one-anaphors are as accessible as referents of definite pronouns, and whether they differ in identifiability from referents of definite pronouns. The results suggest that referents of indefinite one-anaphors indeed have approximately the same degree of accessibility as referents of (accented) definite pronouns, but differ with respect to identifiability. These results support a new model of givenness in terms of a multidimensional functional map. |
