The document discusses several linguistic concepts related to anaphora resolution including: 1. Intersentential and intrasentential anaphora, c-command relationships, and constraints on reflexive and non-reflexive pronouns. 2. Bound variable constraints and conditions on co-referential noun phrases. 3. Logical forms for representing different types of anaphoric relationships based on c-command, reflexivity, co-reference, and quantification.
