4 Conclusions and Future Work
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The dynamic perspective provides a Kamework for a silnple, intuitive account of sloppy identity and related phenomena, by explaining the interpretive facts in terms of changes in context. This requires contexts to change in a way that is somewhat foreign to the dynamic perspective; a given position in tile (:ontext must be reassigned, or shift its value. To implement this, I have incorporated the notion of discourse center, together with the me('hanism of center shift, into a dynamic sysrein. This makes it possible to give a novel, dynalnie account of sloppy id(mtity t)henomena, i have shown that this approach aeeotmts for an expanded paradigm of sloppy identity, going beyond tile data addressed in alternative a(:counts.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> In future work, we will investigate ineorI)orating additional aspects of centering theory, including the tbrward-looking centers list, and the preferen(;e orderings on transitions.</Paragraph>
