Meeting Description:

Referential expressions introduce, activate, and maintain the objects
of our communicative actions. Referential structure itself is formed
by the intricate interaction of referential information and conceptual
information (Gernsbacher 1991; Brocher & von Heusinger 2018). Research
has focused on the felicitous conditions of referential expressions
(Ariel 1988) and the interaction of speaker-oriented planning and
hearer expectation (Kehler et al. 2008, Bott & Solstad 2021), as well
as on their interaction with prominence (von Heusinger and Schumacher
2019). Recent approaches also include the forward-looking function (or
discourse structuring potential) of referential expressions
(Chiriacescu & von Heusinger 2010), the role of quantifiers in the
licensing of anaphoric expressions (Schmitt et al. 2017) and the role
of questions of specification in the marking and interpretation of
referential expressions (Onea 2021). Important advances have been also
achieved in stochastic modeling of reference including redundancy
effects (Degen et al. 2021) and extending current theories to Sign
Languages (Schlenker 2018) While significant progress has been made in
recent years, an overall integrative theory of reference in discourse
and the dynamics of referential expressions in communication is still
missing.
