Neslaganje u broju između singularnih antecedenata i njihovih pronominalnih anafora
On Disagreement in Number between Singular Antecedents and Their Prononimal Anaphors

Summary/Abstract: The author of this article argues that attributively (i.e non-referentially) used singular NPs in Serbo-Croat can be anaphorised only, by plural anaphora. The author claims that it is the trace of the generic reference underlying attributively used singular NPs which allows the anaphorisation of expressions that are in other respects resistant to anaphorisation. Since generic reference as such can toe anaphorised by plural anaphora, the only way for the singular attributive antecedents is to be anaphorised by non-correferential plural anaphora in all three types of context: linguistic, deictic and pragmatic.
