THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF ANAPHORA IN LINGUISTICS
Phd student of Fergana state university
Anaphora constitutes one of the central mechanisms of textual cohesion and referential continuity in human language. As a multifaceted linguistic phenomenon, it has been investigated within various theoretical frameworks, including structural linguistics, generative grammar, discourse analysis, cognitive linguistics, and pragmatics. This paper examines the theoretical underpinnings of anaphora, focusing on its conceptualization as a referential and discourse-organizing device. The study highlights the role of anaphoric relations in the construction of coherent discourse and explores major theoretical approaches to anaphora interpretation and resolution.
