Abstract / Description of output

Here we present three experiments that manipulate entity relatedness and definiteness while testing for the presence of bridging. The results show that entity relatedness affects the interpretation of an NP (offline & online); definiteness alone does not influence the interpretation but high-related definites favor bridged interpretations (online).
