Subject: discourse referents and time
Does anyone know of studies which look at the extent to which the passage
of time determines whether a discourse referent is "current" or not. For
example, given a discourse like the following:
A: "Is John here?"
B: "I don't know"
...time delay...
C: "Is he in his office?"
How long a time delay might there be before "he" in the third sentence
could no longer felicitously be interpreted as "John", assuming no other
discourse referents had been introduced during the delay. I realize this
example is simplistic, but hopefully it suffices to illustrate the area of
study I'm interested in.
Thanks,
Robert Belvin

I would be grateful if anyone would send me info/sources of info (in
English) of a kind of Japanese linguistic field of research called
"Gengo Seikatsu" (somemthing like "linguistic Existence" in my double
bad translation)
