Samenvatting

I argue that pronominal anaphora across mixed paraﬁctional/metaﬁctional discourse (e.g. In The Lord of the Rings, Frodoi goes through an immense mental struggle. Hei is an intriguing ﬁctional character!) poses a problem for current dynamic approaches to ﬁction. I evaluate diﬀerent possible solutions in a workspace account based on a descriptivist approach, Maier’s psychologistic DRT, Zalta’s logic of abstract objects and Recanati’s dot-object analysis of ﬁctional characters.
