Cycnos | Numéros | Volume 18.2 - Anaphores nominale et verbale

Résumé :

In English as in many languages, some Noun Phrases can be anaphoric of contextual propositions made up of predications relations. This type of anaphora is endowed with definite types of determination and the head-noun of the NP has some semantic relations of inclusion or exclusion (either complete or partial) with the verb of the contextiual propositions. This is part of how co-reference is achieved, but apparently not along the lines of more conventional types of anaphora. Five distinctive cases have been distinguished which contribute to providing more consistence to the general notion of anaphora.
