Where there is not--as in the cases of exophora illustrated in (2a), (2b), (2d), and (2e), which I would argue are the basic instances of anaphora--this device is totally inoperative, the relationship here being of necessity between a salient discourse representation and an anaphoric expression, and not between two isolatable cooccurring expressions.
