Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The purpose of this study is to construct a model for specifying nominal reference in Japanese. In the actual use of the language, we supplement incomplete or underspecified representation of meaning with information inferred from the linguistic/situational context and our world knowledge. As a case study of such inferential mechanism, this paper focuses on Internally Headed Relative Clause (IHRC) construction in Japanese. We will examine the role of the rhetorical relation, as exploited in Segmented Discourse Representation Theory (Asher and Lascarides 2003), and argue for its usefulness in the inferential process we are interested in.
