</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper describes a method for tile determination of referents of noun phrases by using their referential properties, modifiers, and possessors. Using this method on training sentences, we obtained a precision rate of 82% and a recall rate of 85% in the determination of referents of noun phrases that have antecedents. On test sentences, we obtained a precision rate of 79% and a recall rate of 77%. This confirmed that the use of tile referential properties, modifiers, and possessors of noun phrases is effective.</Paragraph>
