Can someone remind me of the point of this, please. Why would we want all these horrors, assigned or not? The maximum effective anaphora is going to contain maybe half-a-dozen connections tops; beyond that we cannot either remember or calculate the reference, whence the slogan "Repetition is also anaphora." It is nice to ahve all these tools available for choices, but we do not need them to do the work (we don't even need the fo'V set, rpobably, as witness there heavy use so far.) --part1_de.1a24ed88.28cc0900_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 9/8/2001 5:45:03 PM Central Daylight Time,

Gringe.  Can someone remind me of the point of this, please.  Why would we
want all these horrors, assigned or not?  The maximum effective anaphora is
going to contain maybe half-a-dozen connections tops; beyond that we cannot
either remember or calculate the reference, whence the slogan "Repetition is
also anaphora."  It is nice to ahve all these tools available for choices,
but we do not need them to do the work (we don't even need the fo'V set,
