Book Description

July 1, 1999 0198700288 978-0198700289
In this ambitious work, Dr. Francis Cornish sets out an original theory of anaphora and deixis, and proposes a new and elegant theoretical model to represent the transfer of meaning in discourse. He brings together work by linguists, formal semanticists, psychologists, and researchers in artificial intelligence, as well as drawing on his own extensive experimental work on a variety of corpora of different genres in French and English.

Editorial Reviews

Review

this substantial book makes a most significant contribution to the treatment of anaphora from the perspectives of discourse studies, semantics and cognitive science, and will be an important source for researchers concerned with discourse and reference. Michael Lumsden, Journal of French Language Studies
