Two Kinds of Alternative Sets and a Marking Principle - When to Say Also

Abstract. Discourse anaphora other than definite NPs have not received much attention in generation. This paper proposes a strategy for generating the additive particle also, a non-nominal discourse anaphor. The strategy is based on a treatment of additive particles as markers rather than presupposition triggers (following Zeevat (2003)) and two sorts of contextually given alternative sets.
