Main description:
This volume contains a careful selection of papers concerned with actual research questions on anaphoric reference, a subject of current interest with various linguistic subdisciplines. This is reflected in this book as it covers methodically broadly invested approaches from cognitive, neurolinguistic, formal and computational perspectives, each contribution representing the respective 'state of the art' on a high theoretical and empirical level. The volume contains three thematic parts: Anaphors in Cognitive, Text- and Discourse Linguistics; The Syntax and Semantics of Anaphors; and Neurolinguistic Studies on the reception of anaphoric reference. The contributions investigate several Indo-european languages.
Table of contents:
- Anaphors in text ' Introduction
- Anaphors in Cognitive, Text- and Discourse Linguistics
- Indirect anaphora in text
- Indirect pronominal anaphora in English and French
- Lexical anaphors in Danish and Frenc
- Referential collaboration with computers

- Antecedents of diverse types
- Corpus-based and machine learning approaches to anaphora resolution
- Neurolinguistic Studies
- Neuroimaging studies of coherence processes
- Reference assignment in the absence of sufficient semantic content
- Resolving complex anaphors
