Abstract

This paper uses materials from annotation studies of lexical cohesion (Beigman Klebanov and Shamir, 2005) and of definite reference (Poesio and Vieira, 1998; Vieira, 1998) to discuss the complementary nature of the two processes. Juxtaposing the two kinds of annotation provides a unique perspective for observing the workings of the reader's common-sense knowledge at two levels of text organization: in patterns of lexis and in realization of discourse entities.
