In diesem Projekt untersuchen wir die Prominenz und Zugänglichkeit von Diskursentitäten in einem Text. Wir vergleichen referentielle Ketten (ein blaues Auto - es) und konzeptuelle Ketten (ein blaues Auto - ein rotes) und testen, wie die Prominenz von Diskursentitäten durch nachfolgendes linguistisches Material beeinflusst wird. Dabei konzentrieren wir uns speziell auf die Frage, wie syntaktisch subordinierte vs. koodinierte Sätze sowie diskurs-strukturell subordinierte vs. koordinierte Sätze die Zugänglichkeit von Referenten und Konzepten beeinflussen.
