N2 - This paper presents an account of the anaphoricity evident in Left and Right Dislocations in terms of discourse, rather than sentence anaphora. The constraints on the distribution of the various referring expressions are claimed to derive from the discourse functions of the constructions in question in conjunction with the differential capacity of the distinct referring expressions to access and activate the relevant discourse entities. The various discourse functions of Left and Right Dislocations as discourse organizers are discussed and the nature of their interaction with the retrievability potential of the different referring expressions in these constructions is presented. The correct distributional predictions with respect to the anaphoricity in question are made.
