Abstract :
For a human being it is easy to understand and resolve the anaphora in natural languages. For a computer it is a relatively complex task to handle it. This paper is about the resolution of distributive anaphoric devices in Urdu language. The algorithm presented in this paper is tested on real world text taken from e.g. newspapers and novels. The algorithm successfully searches the antecedents to distributive anaphoric devices and resolves the distributive anaphoric links in the text.
