ABSTRACT
Within the interpretative-semantics framework, it is necessary to define the procedures mapping surface structures onto semantic representations - a level at which the interpretation of the sentences is determined. We have defined formally only one such procedure - the rule translating coindexed pronouns as bound variables ((37) of Section 7.3 .1 ). However, throughout the discussion we have noted several correlations between anaphora interpretation and other aspects of the interpretation of sentences which the theory of semantic interpretation should explain. For a semantically-oriented approach of the type we considered in Section 4.3 such correlations suggest that the anaphora rule operates on semantic representations rather than on syntactic representations. But within the interpretative approach, the same correlations would be explained if it turns out that the different procedures mapping surface structures onto semantic representatives, which apply independently of each other, each obey the same syntactic conditions.
