First published in 1979, this book starts from the perspective that
dealing with anaphoric language can be decomposed into two
complementary tasks: 1. identifying what a text potentially makes
available for anaphoric reference and 2. constraining the candidate
set of a given anaphoric expression down to one possible choice.
The author argues there is an intimate connection between formal
sentential analysis and the synthesis of an appropriate conceptual
model of the discourse. Some of the issues with the creation of
this conceptual model are discussed in the second chapter, which
follows a background to the thesis that catalogues the types of
anaphoric expression available in English and lists the types of
things that can be referred to anaphorically. The third and fourth
chapters examine two types of anaphoric expression that do not
refer to non-linguistic entities. The final chapter details three
areas into which this research could potentially be extended. This
book will be of interest to students of linguistics.
