Coreference and discourse coherence in L2: The roles of grammatical aspect and referential form (2017, background): “…to choose an ongoing-event driven coherence relation following imperfective aspect, consistent with previous findings and with expectationbased accounts of reference processing that propose a close relation between coreference and coherence choices (Hobbs, 1979; Kehler, 2002; Kehler et al., 2008).”
On the Meaning of Words and Dinosaur Bones: Lexical Knowledge Without a Lexicon (2009, background): “When the event is construed as completed, the coherence of the discourse is most naturally maintained by continuing the story, or what Kehler (2002) and Hobbs (1990) have called an Occasion coherence relation.”
The development of Dutch connectives : change and acquisition as windows on form-function relations (2005, background): “They work out the idea that the set of coherence relations should be organized (cf. Kehler 2002 for a similar approach) and give a parameterbased account of relations.”
Reference production: Production-internal and addressee-oriented processes (2008, background): “…cause is considered more referentially accessible (e.g., Ehrlich, 1980; Garnham, Traxler, Oakhill, & Gernsbacher, 1996; McDonald & MacWhinney, 1995; Stewart, Pickering, & Sanford, 2000), although this effect is modulated by the coherence relation between the two clauses in question (Kehler, 2002).”
Coherence and Coreference Revisited (2007, methodology): “(2004) previously tested the predictions of Kehler (2002) against both the grammatical subject and grammatical role parallelism preferences in a reading time experiment that manipulated coherence frame (Parallel/Result) and pronoun gender (masculine/feminine).”
Establishing coherence relations in discourse: The influence of implicit causality and connectives on pronoun resolution (2013, background): “Relying on the most basic distinctions between categories of coherence relations (Kehler, 2002; Sanders et al., 1992), the analyst distinguished between causal (because, so), temporal (then), and additive (and) relations.”
The Penn Discourse TreeBank 2.0. (2008, background): “The hierarchical organization of sense labels in PDTB re-ﬂects our understanding that there is a small, core set of semantic relations that can hold between the situations described in the arguments of connectives (Kehler, 2002).”
A content-addressable pointer mechanism underlies comprehension of verb-phrase ellipsis (2008, background): “We note, however, a pointer mechanism is equally compatible with alternative views that treat ellipses as a type of discourse anaphora (see Garnham, 2001) or that argue that ellipsis can be interpreted by establishing coherence relations based on semantics and discourse properties alone (Kehler, 200”
Learning English Bilingually: Age of Onset of Exposure and Rate of Acquisition Among English Language Learners in a Bilingual Education Program (2005, background): “…child’s tacit understanding of the rules which govern language use is also sensitive to social and situational contexts, and the interpretation of particular linguistic expressions is tied to a language user’s appreciation of relevance, coherence, and context (Kehler, 2002; Sperber & Wilson, 1986).”
Contrast and the structure of discourse (2014, background): “…account of the semantic opposition use The formalist tradition, which takes the semantic opposition use of but as basic, partly traces its origins to work in discourse coherence theory (Halliday & Hasan 1976, Hobbs 1979, Longacre 1983, Mann & Thompson 1988, Kehler 2002, Asher & Lascarides 2003).”
Strategic conversation (2012, background): “So the arc labelled ¬iqap and its leaf with utility (0,−1) is 2:19 pruned.”
