Representation and Information in Dynamic Semantics Paul Dekker Abstract: Among the variety of phenomena that have been the subject of study within dynamic semantics, the phenomenon of inter­sentential anaphora probably has received most attention. Traditionally, pronouns have been associated with (syntactically free, but semantically somehow bound) variables. Put in a nutshell, the semantic relationships between pronouns and their antecedents are established in a compositional way by associating both with variables, and defining the interpretation algorithm as a function updating information about the possible values of these variables. Thus, information about the values of antecedent terms is available when co­indexed pronouns are encountered. In Dekker 1994 I have shown that the same empirical results can be obtained without labeling the subjects introduced by candidate antecedents with variables, that is, by not conflating natural language pronouns with a logic's variables. In the system of predicate logic with anaphora which is presented in that paper, anaphoric relationships are accounted for by keeping track of the possible values of potential antecedent terms, not of the variables they have been associated with. In this paper I want to discuss the impact of this distinction between pronouns and variables upon the notions of representation and informa­ tion involved in a dynamic semantics dealing with the interpretation of anaphoric relationships.
