29. Co-text is just a linguistic part of the environment in which a referring expression is ud. The physical environment, or context (physical environment in which a word is ud), is perhaps more easily recognized as having a powerful impact on how referring expressions are to be interpreted.
30. Reference is not simply a relationship between the meaning of a word or phra and an object or person in the world. It is a social act, in which the speaker assumes that the word or phra chon to identified an object or person will be interpreted as the speaker intended.
31. The definite noun phras such as, ‘the man’, ‘the cat’, ‘the woman’ and the pronouns such as, ‘it’, ‘he’, ‘her’, ‘they’, are examples of subquent reference后续参考to already introduced referents, generally known as anaphoric reference 照应前项的参考, or anaphora. In technical terms, the cond of subquent随后的expression is anaphor (the word ud to maintain reference to someone or something already mentioned) and the initial expression ud to identify someone or something is the antecedent前情.
Pell and slice six potatoes前情. Put them照应前项的参考in cold salted water.
32. And ‘it’ is ud first and is difficult to interpret until the full noun phra is prented in the next line. This pattern is technically known as cataphora (the u of a word to introduce someone or something that via more fully identified later)回指下指, and is much less common than anaphora.
I turned the corner and almost stepped on it. There was a large snake in the middle of the path.
permonth33. When the interpretation requires us to identify an entity and no linguistic expression in prent, it is called zero anaphora, or ellipsis省略.
