| Description | The presentation considers the relation between Chafe's three degrees of referential importance - primary, secondary, and trivial - and the scale of phonological size. Following Givón (1983), the scale of phonological size means the manner in which a referent is expressed (i.e. anaphora, pronouns, definite nouns, etc.). |
