    A CONSTRAINT-BASED APPROACH TO TRANSLATING ANAPHORIC DEPENDENCIES

    The normal method for representing ana-phoric dependencies in Unification Based gram-mar tbrmalisms is that of re-entrance. In this paper, we address the problems that this representational device poses when such formal-isms are used for translation. We demonstrate the inadequacies of existing proposals, and describe an approach which exploits the expres-sive possibilities of the equational constraint language in LFG and involves an inferential procedure combining undempecification in the statement of bilingual correspondences with the use of target language knowledge. 1
