The Copenhagen Dependency Treebanks (CDT) are a set of parallel treebanks for Danish, English, German, Italian, and Spanish. One of the main objectives of the CDT is to arrive at a unified description and annotation system for syntax, morphology, discourse, and anaphora. The treebanks are currently in the process of being annotated for these levels in all five languages. After a brief discussion of the subdivisions of the so-called bridging anaphors proposed by different scholars, we describe the classification and terminology adopted in the CDT. The main distinction here is the very common one between coreferential and associative anaphors, special attention being given to the latter group. Resumptive and evolving anaphors are treated as special subgroups of the coreferential anaphors. A list of the associative relations proposed by the CDT with authentic examples concludes the paper.
