Discourse anaphora is a challenging linguistic phenomenon that has
given rise to research in fields as diverse as linguistics,
computational linguistics and cognitive science. Because of the
diversity of approaches these fields bring to the anaphora problem,
the editors of this volume argue that there needs to be a synthesis,
or at least a principled attempt to draw the differing strands of
anaphora research together. The selected papers in this volume all
contribute to the aim of synthesis and were selected to represent the
growing importance of corpus-based and computational approaches to
anaphora description, and to developing natural language systems for
resolving anaphora in natural language.
