On the Framing of One Kind of Indefinite Referring Expression: Learning Challenges and Pedagogical Implications.
Tickoo, Asha
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, v12 n2 p176-93 2002
Shows that two key principles of communication (the Shared Knowledge Principle and the Economy Principle), which monitor the framing of all well-formed referring expressions, are manifest in a specialized mode in the framing of focal specific indefinite referring expressions. Suggests that the special features associated with this type of reference pose a challenge for a group of advanced learners of English whose native language is Cantonese. (Author/VWL)
