Abstract. The article examines one of the factors influencing the establishment of anaphoric relations - referent’s syntactic role. The experiment conducted according to the gap filling method indicated that referent’s syntactic role influences the choice of referential means (RM) but not the addressee’s expectation regarding the subject of the narration. The latter depends on the referent’s role in the information structure of a statement. The author also identified that the native speakers do not avoid using the reduced referential means under the two competing referents.
Key words and phrases: референция, анафорические отношения, референциальные средства, местоимения, референциальный выбор, референциальная неоднозначность, принцип приоритета подлежащего, reference, anaphoric relations, referential means, pronouns, referential choice, referential multiplicity, subject priority principle
