This study aims at investigating cognitive aspects of meaning in the referential use of indefinite noun phrases and then suggesting that a cognitive phychological explanation is plausible and desirable in the cases that indefinite noun phrases may be interpreted referentially. For that aim I argued against the semantic ambiguity of indefinite noun phrases and then for the cognitive account for the referential interpretations of indefinite noun phrases which can be preferable to a semantic-ambiguity analysis.
In a cognitive account, the speaker's communicative intention, which is understood in the context, is more important than linguistic interpretations or the intended referents of referential indefinite noun phrases. In addition, I can recognize that the descriptive content of an indefinite noun phrase contributes to the speaker's intention and direction behind context.
In conclusion I suggest that a cognitive interpretation on meaning contributes to our English study or learning in every parts.
