Abstract

This paper focuses on anaphora interpreted as referring to entities of type event and action. It considers two issues: (i) what aspects of the discourse give evidence of the events and the actions the speaker is talking about, and (ii) how actions and events are represented in the discourse in order to be able to refer to them anaphorically.
