5 CONCLUSION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The locations and contexts of tile referents of dousha in Japanese Joint-Venture articles are determined by hand. Three henristic methods are proposed and tested. The methods which use semantic information in the text and its patterns show high accuracy in finding the referents (96% for dousha with ga and 96% for dousha with ha for the unseen test data). The high success rates snggest that a semantic pattern-matching approach is not only a valid method but also an ef\[icicnt method for reference resolution in the newspaper article domains. Since the Japanese language is highly case-inflected, case (particle) infof mation is used effectively in these methods for reference resolution. -How much one can do with semantic pattern matching for reference resolution of similar expressions such as &amp;quot;the company&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;tile Japanese company&amp;quot; in English newspaper articles is a topic for fllture research.</Paragraph>
