We examined the influence of the lexical and grammatical aspect of events on pronoun resolution in adults (18 to 23 years, N = 46), adolescents (13 to 14 years, N=66) and children (7 to 11 years, N=192). Participants were presented with 64 two-sentence stimuli: the first sentence described events with two same gender protagonists; the second began with a personal pronoun and described a status that could be attributed to either protagonist. Participants recorded to whom the pronoun referred, in a booklet. For all groups, Subject resolutions were more likely for events (a) without endpoints relative to those with endpoints, and (b) described as ongoing rather than completed, but this latter influence was restricted to events with endpoints for adults and adolescents. The findings provide support for the Event Structure Hypothesis of pronoun resolution (Rohde, Kehler & Elman, 2006) and provide new insights into the development of pronoun resolution.

我们检查了事件的词汇和语法方面对成人（18 至 23 岁，N = 46）、青少年（13 至 14 岁，N = 66）和儿童（7 至 11 岁，N = 192）代词解析的影响). 向参与者展示了 64 个两句刺激：第一句描述了两个相同性别主角的事件；第二个以人称代词开头，描述了可以归因于任何一位主角的地位。参与者在小册子中记录了代词指代的人。对于所有组，受试者解决方案更有可能发生在 (a) 相对于有终点的事件而言没有终点的事件，以及 (b) 被描述为正在进行而不是完成的事件，但后者的影响仅限于成人和青少年的终点事件。
