Anaphora Resolution

Abstract

In this final chapter, the prospects of the research field of anaphora processing shall be briefly discussed, identifying promising directions of further research, new application scenarios, and interdisciplinary cooperation. In order to obtain the broadest-possible view of the discipline’s future, an inspiring survey with respective pertinent questions has been conducted among all contributors to this book in order to poll their individual opinions. This chapter thus gathers contributions by multiple authors, which will be summarized and evaluated.
