This
paper examines the use of anaphors, an
element of
language that can only be understood contextually, in the English language. More specifically, an anaphor is defined as an element of
speech that depends for its
reference on the reference of another element. The paper looks at the syntactic constraints on anaphoric reference and how the use of
anaphors can completely change the meaning of a sentence. Also discussed is the importance of sequencing in language and how anaphors refer to sequential aspects of language patterning.
