ABSTRACT
In one sense, the distinction within the general category of non-nominal anaphora between 'predicate' and 'prepositional' anaphora mirrors that which we saw in Chapter 3 between 'strict' and 'discourse' anaphora, within the nominal category. That is, while both predicate and strict-nominal anaphora involve an essentially grammatical, textual relation without presupposing a corresponding discourse referent (in Hankamer & Sag's 1976 terms, both these types would be instances of 'surface' anaphora), propositional and discourse-nominal anaphora are only loosely defined by lexico-grammatical features, having a more obviously pragmatic status and presupposing a corresponding discourse referent (both would be instances of 'deep' anaphora, in Hankamer & Sag's terminology).
