We have described very briefly the notion of center(s) of a sentence in discourse and discussed how the ce ntering phenomenon might be incorporated in a formal model of inference and its relation to the intrinsic complexity of certain inferences.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/75","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/0075.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/75.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/bibtex/75","volume":{"slug":"1981","title":"Proceedings of the Seventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1981","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/","year":1981,"location":"Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada","dates":"24-28 August 1981","editors":"Roger C.
