Resolving Zero Pronouns in Texts using Textual Structure

This paper proposes a powerful method for the resolution of Japanese zero pronouns in a text with meta information which indicates the textual structure. This method uses not only semantic and pragmatic constraints but also information about the text structure. According to a window test for 480 zero pronouns in a specification with explicit structural information, all of the zero pronouns could be resolved consistently and correctly. Furthermore, 93% of zero pronouns with intersentential antecedents could be resolved correctly using only structural information in the text. This result indicates that, for a text with explicit structural information, the information can be used to effectively resolve zero pronouns with intersentential antecedents.
