Quelle place de l’inference dans la resolution de l’anaphore non standard? Le cas du pronom personnel clitique
The Role of Inference in Solving Non-standard Anaphora. The Case of Clitic Personal Pronouns

Summary/Abstract: The present contribution aims at highlighting the crucial role of inference in the resolution of non-standard anaphora. In order to study this discourse phenomenon, the focus has been on the referential functioning of the clitic personal pronoun, third person subject. In this context, we have concentrated our attention on the co-textual and discursivo-cognitive approaches in order to understand the research problem. We focus our attention on the need for a strategy to calculate the referent in question. As for the corpus, it consists of some representative statements containing the antecedent problem that is missing in the text/discourse. These statements are published by Internet users on social networks, in this case Facebook. This study shows that referential incompleteness plunges the reader into incomprehension and equivocation. Thus, the use of inference and discursive memory or shared knowledge of the speaker promotes understanding and interpretation.
