Our goal in this paper is to examine the resolution of complex cases of definite pronouns that appear in sentences exemplified by the shout example.
each sentence (1) has two clauses separated by a discourse connective (i.e., the connective appears between the two clauses, just like because in the shout example), where the first clause contains two or more candidate antecedents (e.g., Ed and Tim), and the second clause contains the target pronoun (e.g., he); and (2) the target pronoun agrees in gender, number, and semantic class with each candidate antecedent, but does not have any overlap in content words with any of them.
