当回指语所指的对象（i）在前面的语境中没有明确提到，（ii）仍然可以根据上下文提供的信息来识别时，回指语被称为联想性的。许多语言学家认为联想回指只能由确定性名词短语引导，而指示性名词短语不能充当联想回指的角色。在本文中，我们捍卫的想法，指示NP是不兼容的联想回指，实际上是目前在法国。本文分析了作者们提出的各种解释和解释，他们认为指示性NP不能承担联想回指的作用（复调效应、记忆指示、移情作用等）。我们表明，在许多情况下，这些解释是不令人满意的。而非共指指示性名词短语则可以通过动态的语篇指称生成和接受模式来描述。它基于这样一种想法，即对话者可能有不同的战略利益，对话语范围的不同表述，指称表达的选择可能反映这些不同的利益。它也可以表明，指示关联NP具有各种话语和交际功能或效果，如避免通用的解释，信号有问题的预设，信号，确定预期的所指将有点困难，等等。最后，我们认为对回指现象的研究应该沿着沿着三条描述路线进行，以避免过于简单化。(C)1999 Elsevier Science B.V.保留所有权利。
An anaphor is said to be associative when it refers to a referent (i) which has not been explicitly mentioned in the prior context, and (ii) which can nevertheless be identified on the basis of information provided by this context. Numerous linguists consider that associative anaphora can only be introduced by definite NPs and claim that demonstrative NPs cannot take on the role of associative anaphora. In this paper, we defend the idea that demonstrative NPs are not incompatible with associative anaphora and are in fact current in French. We examine the various explanations and interpretations provided by the authors who claim that demonstrative NPs cannot take on the role of associative anaphora (polyphony effect, memory deixis, empathy, etc.). We show that, in numerous cases, these interpretations are not satisfactory. On the contrary, it is possible to describe non-coreferential demonstrative NPs by applying a dynamic model for the production and reception of discourse reference. It is based on the idea that interlocutors may have diverging strategic interests, different representations of the universe of discourse, and that the selection of referring expressions may reflect these diverging interests. It can also be shown that demonstrative associative NPs have various discursive and communicative functions or effects, such as avoiding a generic interpretation, signalling a problematic pre-supposition, signalling that identifying the intended referent will be somewhat difficult, etc. A distinction between positive and negative function will be offered here. Finally, we contend that an investigation of anaphoric phenomena should be conducted along three line of description, to avoid over-simplification. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
