anaphor

However, although Chinese is a prop-drop language and does often use zero anaphor for second mention, it also appears to opt for pronominal anaphora in certain discourse contexts and situations.

然而，汉语固然为代词脱落语言，以零代词来指称前后文的名词做为语言使用的常态。

In colloquial documents in Shandong dialect of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the demonstrative pronouns "this ( these)"," that ( those)" appeared in two syntax positions as the anaphor: demonstrative pron.+ NP+ VP, NP+ demonstrative pron.

明清山东方言白话文献中，指示代词这（个）、那（个）用来回指前文所述内容时出现了两种特殊的句法位置：指示代词+NP+VP和NP+指示代词+VP。

Indirect anaphora refers to a special anaphoric structure in which the antecedent of a sentence has no direct relation with the anaphor.

间接回指是指话语上下文中先行成分和照应成分之间没有直接指代关系的一种特殊回指形式。
