The prototypical anaphoric expression is one which is interpreted as coreferential with a previous expression in the discourse. However, a nominal phrase may also be ‘linked’ to the previous discourse without being corefential with a previous expression and we refer to such expressions as ‘indirect anaphors’. This paper reports on an investigation of the conditions under which pronouns and demonstrative phrases can occur as indirect anaphors.
