Abstract
This study has explored the use of anaphoric expressions and referential senses in Turkish and English short stories. In the study, some information, related concepts, types of anaphora, and some important problems about anaphora were presented. Furthermore, the selected stories of Ömer Seyfettin and O’Henry were analyzed and evaluated in terms of anaphoric relations and comparison of English and Turkish short stories in terms of anaphora was made by giving overall results. In addition, Turkish language was compared with English language to find and demonstrate some particular linguistic and referential relations in both of these languages. In the course of exploring the issues related to ‘anaphora’ and ‘reference’, some new or neglected constructions were considered: most crucially to the argumentation, referential, particularly anaphoric relations between linguistic entities within Turkish short stories are observed and assessed in terms of Turkish language ‘as a pro-drop language’.
