Abstract
It is usually assumed that anaphoric relations hold exclusively at the level of NP (where NP is the maximal projection of N). However, in order to explain various anaphora data, we are compelled to assume that anaphoric relations also hold at the level of N (where N is the second-maximal projection of N). The aim of this article is to propose and justify the ‘Inter-N Anaphora’ hypothesis. In the course of justification, we come to the generalization that NP-level anaphora is coreference and N-level anaphora is bound anaphora (in the sense of Reinhart 1983).
