Le potenzialità ana-cataforiche dei pronomi dimostrativi italiani questo e quello
The Ana-cataphoric Potential of the Italian Demonstrative Pronouns questo and quello

Summary/Abstract: The ana-cataphora is the “youngest” among diaphoric relations, after anaphora and cataphora, and combines characteristics of its “older” endophoric relatives.The present paper identifies and describes this diaphoric relation by using various taxonomic parameters (vector, diaphoric expression, cotext or field, scope, referent identification manner, coreferentiality) in order to measure the potential of the demonstratives in question and to determine the most productive demonstrative form as an ana-cataphoric catalyst. Observations, remarks and conclusions are based on the analysis of research data extracted from the subcorpus Generale 1 of NUNC corpora, reflecting evolutionary tendencies observable in spoken/written Italian, used in discussion groups of the global network.
