Abstract

It is argued that, contrary to what is predicted by many approaches to “bridging”, relevance and script activation can license pronominal reference to inferred antecedents. The relevant script activation mechanism operates under conditions of prototypical role players and stereotypical predications in the appropriate script domain. The pronominals appearing in such referential uses seem to involve an attributive sense, or at least the activatability of the inferred referent.
