The issues raised in this chapter are uniqueness, coreference, backward pronominalization and donkey anaphora.
First, the augmented ranking rule points to interesting new directions in understanding backward anaphora.
First it is not empirically tested that in cases of backward anaphora the antecedent is found in the immediate discourse.
Like inferencing, anaphora can be perceived as occurring on a continuum, involving greater or lesser cognitive activity, depending on both text-based and reader-based variables.
While this book contains a lot of material about intrasentential anaphora, there is virtually nothing about discourse anaphora.
The system lacked any other means of connecting individual sentences - even a rudimentary anaphora resolution was not available.
One of the heuristics incorporated in the new algorithm approximates resolution of definite anaphora.
It attempts to resolve anaphora (in its most general sense) locally within a discourse segment.
