Abstract
Quantitative and qualitative studies of referential relations in unrestricted natural text are necessary both for a better theoretical understanding of referential processes, and for the development of empirically well-founded algorithms for anaphora resolution in the framework of natural language processing (NLP) systems. The aim of the study reported in this paper was to provide preliminary empirical data on anaphoric pronouns in Swedish. The relation between the pronoun and its antecedent was studied for 600 pronouns in three different types of unrestricted written Swedish text, and a simple pronoun resolution algorithm was tested on the sample.
