    Since animacy (better: empathy ðŸ™‚) and topicality are both related
    to reference, the term you are looking for could be something like
    'reference-conditioned alignment constraint'. It would cover not
    only empathy and topicality, but also other referential properties
    like specificity, which play a role in alignment, too.<br>
    Best, Christian<br>
