Danish singular neuter pronouns comprise personal and demonstrative pronouns. They are very frequent and have many functions such as non-referential, cataphoric, deictic and anaphoric. The antecedents of discourse anaphoric singular neuter pronouns can be nominal phrases of different gender and number, verbal phrases, adjectival phrases, clauses or discourse segments of different size and they can refer to individual and abstract entities. Danish neuter pronouns occur in more constructions and have different distributions than the corresponding English pronouns it, this and that. The results of the classification experiments show a significant improvement of the performance with respect to the baseline in all types of data. The best results were obtained on text data, while the worst results were achieved on free-conversational, multi-party dialogues.",
