Sumario:This study presents an investigation of conceptual anaphor reading (CA). The work analyzed how a group of undergraduate students read anaphors. A self-paced test was carried out and some sentences containing conceptual anaphors and others with pronominal anaphors (PA) were presented. Our initial hypothesis, that conceptual anaphors were more slowly read than other anaphors, was not confirmed. Results demonstrated that there was no significant difference on the reading of anaphors. Therefore, we concluded that reading is a dynamic process and that readers have an important role in this process.
