Abstract

Abstract Events have peculiar effects on anaphoric processes. When a discourse introduces an event of creation, a new object becomes available for anaphoric reference in the subsequent narrative. When an event of destruction is introduced, an object that was available for anaphoric reference is no longer available. Or at least that is what intuitively one would think. This interaction between events and anaphora in discourse is part of what is known as the problem of evolutive anaphora, and an analysis of this phenomenon, or at least the beginnings of one, is the object of this chapter.
