Definition
a concept expressed in a sentence that is linked to a trigger concept previously evoked, and forms a poset with the trigger (and other potentially evoked concepts). Example: in the exchange Do you like this album? Yeah, this song I really like, the song mentioned in the second turn serves as the link to the album which is the trigger mentioned in the first turn.
