    <Paragraph position="0"> Working within the Dynamic &amp;quot;Quantifier Logic (DQL) framework (van den Berg 1992, 1996a,b), we claim in this paper that in every language the translation into a logical language will be such that the preference ordering of possible discourse referents for an anaphor in a sentence can be explained in terms of the scopal order of the exp _re~Lslons in the antecedent that introduce the discourse referents. Since the scope of terms is derived from arguments independent of any discourse theory, our account explal~ discour~ anaphora resolution in terms of general principles of utterance semantics, from whichthe predictions of centering theory follow. When comb'med with the powerful discourse structural framework of the Linguistic Discourse Model (Polanyi (1985, 1986, 1988, 1996) Potanyi and Scha (1984), Scha and Polanyi (1988), Prfist, H., tL Scha and M. tLvan den Berg, 1994; Po~u~, L. and M.
