Abstract
In this paper, some problems related to the organization of reference in conversation are discussed. It is argued that every process of assembling features into a referential description requires referring party's analysis of recipient's background knowledge. The paper centers around cases of presumed (by referring party) or displayed (by recipient) lack of fit between referential items and recipient's background knowledge, that is, on how reference is turned from an en passant affair into a problem in its own right.
