ON NEW CONSTRAINTS ON ANAPHORA AND CONTROL

In this paper, new constraints on anaphoric coreference including control are proposed within the dependency-based Prague Functional Generative Description, especially in terms of the Topic-Focus Articulation of the sentence (cf. esp. Sgall et al. 1973 and 1986; Petkevic 1987, and Koktova 1987). Extant alternative approaches, especially the Chomskyan paradigm, are substantially criticized for their empirical and theoretical inadequacy.
