Reference to Abstract Objects in DiscourseReference to Abstract Objects in Discourse

Reference to Abstract Objects in Discourse presents a novel framework and analysis of the ways we refer to abstract objects in natural language discourse. The book begins with a typology of abstract objects and related entities like eventualities.
