A Modular Architecture for Anaphora Resolution‪.‬

INTRODUCTION Anaphora describes the dependence of an expression on a previously mentioned one in a discourse segment. It is an important phenomenon required in almost every natural language application. Anaphora is used to explicitly exhibit relations between different linguistic units that designate the same entities, that is are co referential. The object that is being referred to is called the antecedent, the expression that refers to the antecedent is called the referring expression or the anaphor. The process of finding the proper antecedent for each anaphora in texts is termed anaphora resolution. In French, anaphoric expressions are signalled by two linguistic categories: pronominal anaphora and definite descriptions. Example
