Abstract anaphora resolution in Danish [PDF]

Proceedings of the 1st SIGdial workshop on Discourse and dialogue -, 2000
In this paper I describe the use of Danish pronouns and deictics in dialogues. Then I present an adaptation to Danish of Eckert and Strube's algorithm for resolving anaphora referring to individual NPs and abstract objects in English dialogues (Eckert and Strube, 1999b; Eckert and Strube, 1999a). The adapted algorithm is tested on four Danish dialogues
