5 CONCLUSIONS
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have discussed proposed extensions to Sidner's algorithm to track local focus in the presence of illegally omitted NP's, and to use the extended focusing algorithm to identify the intended co-specifiers of omitted NP's. This strategy is reasonable since LT may lead a native signer of ASL to use discourse-oriented strategies that allow the omission of an NP that is the topic of a preceding sentence when writing English.</Paragraph>
