Abstract
In this paper I make a case for a separate treatment of (singular) anaphoric
pronouns within a predicate logic with anaphora (PLA). Discourse
representation theoretic results (from Kamp 1981) can be formulated in a
compositional way, without fiddling with orthodox notions of scope and
binding. In contrast with its predecessor dynamic predicate logic
(Groenendijk and Stokhof 1991), the system of PLA is a proper extension of
ordinary predicate logic and it has a genuine update semantics. Moreover, in
contrast with other compositional reformulations of DRT, the semantics of PLA
remains well within the bounds of ordinary, extensional type theory.
