    • We are now ready to two referent resolution tasks: coreference resolution and pronominal anaphora resolution. Coreference resolution is the task of finding referring expression in a text that refer to the same entity, that is, finding expression that corefer. We call the set of coreferring expressions a coreference chain.
    • Coreference resolution requires finding all referring expression in a discourse and group them into coreference chains. By contrast, pronomial anaphora resolution is the task of finding the antecedent for a single pronoun.

    • In establishing proper referential relations, we found the functional information structure of the utterances to be much more relevant. By this we mean indicators of whether or not a discourse entity in the current utterance refers to another discourse entity already introduced by previous utterances in the discourse. Borrowing terminology from Prince (1981, 1992), an entity that does refer to another discourse entity already introduced is called discourse-old or hearer-old, while an entity that does not refer to another discourse entity is called discourse-new or hearer-new.

    • QUOTE: "Anaphora is cohesion (presupposition) which points back to some previous item. The "pointing back" (reference) is called an anaphor and the entity to which it refers is its antecedent. The process of determining the antecedent of an anaphor is called anaphora resolution."
