An access mode is understood not as the whole process of anaphor resolution, but as the set of procedural and qualitative information common to all NPs of a given type (for instance, common to al...

description In the study of anaphora, one major issue is that of the access modes provided by full NPs and pronouns. An access mode is understood not as the whole process of anaphor resolution, but as the set of procedural and qualitative information common to all NPs of a given type (for instance, common to all definite descriptions). The present study proposes a comparative approach to those access modes, focusing more specifically on demonstratives, definite descriptions and third-person pronouns. About demonstratives, which can be either pronouns or determiners, it confirms that, as stated in the utterer-centred approach to language, each has a single core value, and therefore encodes a single access mode, whether it is used as a determiner or as a pronoun in context. The study seeks to determine on what grounds a simple demonstrative is preferred over a complex one. The other question raised is whether such pairing between a determiner and a pronoun can also occur with members of the determiner and pronoun paradigms that do not share a form. To that end, the study compares the access modes coded by the definite article and third-person pronouns. It argues that they, too, form a pair.
