Abstract
Conventionally anaphora is seen as triggered by grammar, i.e. as a saturation requirement. In this paper, it is demonstrated how this assumption complicates anaphora resolution considerably and instead it is proposed to let the fly out of the bottle and reconsider grammar’s contribution to anaphora resolution.
Thanks to the two anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments.
