Abstract:

Referential expressions include terms such as determiners, proper
names, noun phrases, pronouns, and all other expressions that we use
to make reference to things, beings, or events. The first of its kind,
this book presents a detailed, integrated account of typical and
atypical uses of referential expressions, combining insights from
discourse, cognitive, and psycholinguistic literature within a
functional model of language. It first establishes a foundation for
reference, including an overview of key influences in the study of
reference, the debates surrounding (in)definiteness, and a functional
description of referring expressions. It then draws on a variety of
approaches to provide a comprehensive explanation of atypical uses,
including referring in an uncollaborative context, indefinite
expressions used for definite reference, reference by and for
children, and finally metonymic reference with a special focus on
metonymy in medical contexts. Comprehensive in scope, it is essential
reading for academic researchers in syntax, discourse analysis, and
cognitive linguistics.
