• Sommario/riassunto: Teaching computers to solve language problems is one of the major challengesof natural language processing. There is a large amount of interesting researchdevoted to this field. This book fills an existing gap in the literature with anup-to-date survey of the field, including the author's own contributions.A number of different fields overlap in anaphora resolution - computationallinguistics, natural language processing (NLP), grammar, semantics, pragmatics,discourse analysis and artificial intelligence. This book begins by introducingbasic n
