Väänänen, Jouko (ed.) et al., Logic, language, information, and computation. 23rd international workshop, WoLLIC 2016, Puebla, Mexico, August 16–19th, 2016. Proceedings. Berlin: Springer. Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 9803, 432-445 (2016).
Summary: Various properties of functions denoted by anaphors and anaphoric determiners are studied in this paper. These properties indicate similarities (conservativity, intersectivity) and differences (predicate invariance, anaphoric conservativity, anaphoric intersectivity) between anaphoric functions and quantifiers and show that anaphors essentially extend the expressive power of natural languages.
