    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper we presented dar, an algorithm for resolving IPAsandAPAsinDanishtexts and dialogues. In dar differences between the referential characteristics of Danish weak and strong pronouns are accounted for and a novel strategy for resolving individual anaphors is proposed. This strategy combines givenness with focality preferences to model salience and also accounts for parallelism preferences. dar performs significantly better on IPAsthanalgorithms which only rely on givenness-based salience models.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> dar extends the es00 strategy of classifying and resolving (some types of) APAs. The tests of dar indicate that the es00-s approach of recognising APAsisalsopromisingfortexts and other languages than English.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> dar has not been compared with phora which is the only abstract anaphora algorithm implemented. We find the algorithm very interesting because it addresses many of the same phenomena, but with different strategies. It would be useful to combine some of these strategies with the approaches proposed in dar and es00 to improve the still problematic resolution of abstract anaphors.</Paragraph>
