The book then substantially revises and extends the dynamicsemantic framework of DRT to develop an analysis of anaphoricreference to abstract objects and eventualities that exploitsdiscourse structure and the discourse relations that obtain betweenelements of the structure. A dynamic, semantically based theory ofdiscourse structure (SDRT) is proposed, along with many illustrativeexamples. Two further chapters then provide the analysis of anaphoricreference to propositions VP ellipsis. The abstract entity anaphoricantecedents are elements of the discourse structures that SDRTdevelops.
