Abstract
Definite article anaphors and discourse construction: A comparison between Spanish and Chinese. In the framework of Givenness Hierarchy, this paper presents the mechanism in Chinese that holds the same anaphoric function of the definite article in Spanish, and analyzes from a contrastive perspective the contribution which makes the nominal anaphor to the discourse construction. The paper concludes that despite some differences in individual behaviors, in both languages, the anaphora favors the text organization maintaining the consistency and diversifying expressions.Downloads
