    <Paragraph position="0"> TDS (Topic-driven Discourse Structure), a Japanese dialogue discourse structure that resolves zero anaphora reference, was proposed on the basis of topic structure.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Inlbrmation carried by predicates on honorificity, deixis, speech act and mental activities is also utilized i~ connection with TDS. The method conforms well with the way zero anaphora actually functions in spoken Japanese discourse. Of the zero pronouns in the inter-terminal conversation data, 79.8% were cases identifiable by this approach.</Paragraph>
