Abstract

The present research conducted two experiments to investigate the activation of referent included on reference disambiguation. In experiment 1 and 2, it was found that potential referents were activated shortly after their anaphora But in experiment 1 which it was not possible to select an appropriate one among the two referents, the activation faded away before long. In experiment 2 which the context of an anaphora made it possible to choose an appropriate referent, the activation of a selected referent lasted until the last of a sentence containing the anaphora but that of an unselected referent faded shortly after its activation.
