The microtheory has proven useful even in its current state. We estimate that dedicating one linguist-year to each of around twenty well-defined problems would advance this microtheory to a seriously operational level for English-speaking LEIAs.

Each section of the upcoming narrative addresses a different type of referring expression: personal pronouns (5.2), pronominal broad referring expressions (5.3), definite descriptions (5.4), anaphoric event coreference (5.5), other types of elided and underspecified events (5.6), and overt event references (5.7). The more detailed sections conclude with a recap that extracts the main points and examples. These can be skimmed as a memory refresher and road map.
