Abstract
In this chapter we turn to the secondary grammatical relation of coreference. The distinction between primary and secondary relations is defined as follows: Primary relations are built directly during a time-linear derivation (hearer mode). This applies to functor–argument structure and to coordination. Secondary relations, in contrast, (i) presuppose the primary relations and (ii) modify or complement some of the values assigned by the primary relations. In Database Semantics, secondary relations are implemented as inferences (cf. Sect. 5.3).
