Abstract
In this paper, we present the results of applying two different centring algorithms [1,9] to Danish discourses. Then we describe how we have adapted the algorithm for resolving anaphora referring to both individual NPs and discourse deictics presented in [3] so that it covers Danish discourse deictics. The modified algorithm has been manually tested on Danish dialogues and the obtained results have been evaluated.
The research described has partially been funded by the Staging project which is funded by the Danish Research Councils.
