Cho, Hye-Sun. 1997. Cognitive and Pragmatic-Based Accounts of Definite Referring Expressions. Studies in Modern Grammatical Theories 10: 63-78. This study demonstrates that a cognitive and pragmatic framework provides a good domain in which to analyze the relationship between deictic and anaphoric phenomena and between the two types of anaphora, because a cognitive account would consider mental representation, while a pragmatic account would consider mutual knowledge. So, within this framework, after analyzing the deictic and anaphoric function of a definite article `the`, the distinction between these two types is interpreted in terms of the correlation between context and mental representation systems, using Marshall`s (1992) mutual knowledge and Givon`s (1992, 1995) mental operations of definites. This correlation also leads to clear differences between mental storage references: long-term memory based reference and short-term memory based reference. Then some interaction between these two is required to identify the definite NP anaphora that does not have the explicit antecedent in the previous context.
