We examine a corpus of naturally occurring data (Japanese e-mail texts) in order to explore the nature of referent resolution in such a corpus. Specifically, our aims are to give a characterization of Japanese e-mail, and to describe reference resolution processes operating in that medium in terms that will make them tractable for automatic language processing. Because the centering approach to modeling discourse phenomena is well defined computationally, we use that as a starting point for our analysis. We begin by describing the nature of Japanese e-mail, characterizing it both quantitatively and qualitatively. We then examine each instance of anaphora in the corpus to determine the process by which its reference can be resolved. Finally, we suggest a computationally tractable description for each type of reference and estimate how successful the application of each description would be. Our analysis gives a specific and empirically validated account of the possibility of processing reference automatically using centering parameters as a foundation. |
