“…They assume that different referential forms can be described by a single representation of salience: More reduced forms such as pronouns tend to be used for a highly salient or accessible entity, whereas more explicit forms such as names tend to be used for a less salient or accessible entity. The factors that have been claimed to influence the salience of an entity (and thereby the likelihood of that entity being subsequently referred to with a reduced form) include recency of mention (e.g., Arnold, 1998; Arnold et al, 2009; Givón, 1983) and grammatical position (e.g., Arnold, 1998; Brennan et al, 1987; Fukumura & van Gompel, 2010; Gordon et al, 1993; Hwang, 2018, 2020; Hwang et al, in press; Kehler et al, 2008; Rohde & Kehler, 2014; Stevenson et al, 1994), among others. Under saliency hierarchy models, interclausal connection may affect referential form production by influencing the accessibility of entities.…”
