Dear all,
A few days before X-mas, I posted a query on intra- and inter-sentential
pronominal reference resolution. Despite the unfavourable moment, a number
of researchers found the time to help me, for which Im most grateful. I
also apologise for not having yet answered to all individually due to lack
of time (because of a project proposal). Ill try to make up for it in the
next days.
So, many many thanks to:
