    <Paragraph position="0"> \ \[Kronfeld1986, Kronfeld1990\] distinguishes three independent aspects of the referential-attributive distinction, discusses the significance of the distinction for a computational model of reference, and describes how attributive descriptions may result in conversational implicatures \[Grice1975\]. The implications of the referential-attributive distinction for centering theory are discussed in \[Grosz et a1.1983\]. \[Appelt and Kronfeld1987\] provides a formal theory that derives the effects of referring actions.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Previous *integrated text and graphi c generation systems, e.g., \[Fasciano and Lapalme1996, Feiner and McKeown1991, Maybury1991, Wahlster et a1.1993\] have not attempted to perform task-based design of graphics as in our. approach. Previous work on natural language reference in multimedia generation* \[Andre and Rist1994, McKeown et a1.1992\] has focused on coordination of pictoria ! and textual referencesto concrete objectsand to actions to be performed o~ ghe objects, and on generating references to the presentation itself. Previous work on reference in sentence generation, e.g., \[Appelt1985, Dale1992, Dale and Reiter1995, Heeman and Hirst1995, Horacek1997, Stone and Doran1997\], has not addressed the referential-attributive distinction. \[Elhadad1992\] describes a representation scheme for specifying complex noun phrases, in which a set can be described either by its extension or intension. However, tiffs distinction .is independent of the referential-attributive distinction,* since the same noun phrase can be used with either intention.</Paragraph>
