Submitting your "bad text" to the APE web-client I get (with word-guessing switched on) the attached output which shows that the anaphoric reference to "publication B5633" is correctly resolved in sentence 16.<br> <br>Concerning the distance between antecedent and anaphoric reference there is no limit. However, may I suggest that you read section 8 of the ACE interpretation rules?<br><font color="#888888"><br> --- nef<br><br></font><br> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></blockquote></div><br></div>
