6.3 Analysing the patterns 143(173)e 2 t 4 t 6m phone(e 2 )τ(e 2 ) = t 4t 4 ⊆ t 5t 4 ⊃≺ t 6t 5t 5 ≺ nBoth representations contain an anaphoric condition, marked by the dashedboxes, that has to be resolved. On the pulling account, the reference pointt 5 has to be bound and the temporal relation ρ has to be specified. On thepushing account, on the other hand, the topic time t 5 is the anaphor that hasto be bound.Merging the representations of the two sentences, as in (174) and (175),results in the DRSs in which we try to find antecedents for the anaphors. Onthe pulling account, the default is that t 5 binds to t 2 and ρ is specified as ≺(see (i ′ )–(iii ′ ) on p. 37):(174) (170) ⊕ (172) =n e 1 t 1 t 2 e 2 t 3 t 4p enter(e 1 )τ(e 1 ) = t 1t 1 ⊆ t 2t 2 ≺ nm phone(e 2 )τ(e 2 ) = t 3t 3 ⊆ t 4t 4 ≺ nt 5ρ(t 5 ,t 4 )ρ :=≺t 5 := t 2⇒n e 1 t 1 t 2 e 2 t 3 t 4p enter(e 1 )τ(e 1 ) = t 1t 1 ⊆ t 2t 2 ≺ nm phone(e 2 )τ(e 2 ) = t 3t 3 ⊆ t 4t 4 ≺ nt 2 ≺ t 4
