A construção genitiva (cf. 4.3) se dá através dos prefixos de posse afixados aos nomes e pela presença opcional do marcador de possuído. Nessas construções, se o nome possuído recebe sufixo derivacional de ‘forma’ ou ‘consistência’, esses, a exemplo dos classificadores incorporados – exemplos (158-159) – ou dos classificadores nominais – (cf. 4.6.2.2) –, funcionam também como anáforas que representam o referente, quando esse já foi expresso na comunicação:

when the latter have already been expressed in the communication
Robert's answer is OK, too. I wanted to point out that "anaphora" is the plural form (the singular is "anaphor"), and also, I would take out most of the definite articles in the sentence and change some of the punctuation:
"The genitive construction (cf. 4.3) is expressed through possessive prefixes affixed to nouns and also through the optional presence of a marker on the possessed element. In these constructions, if the possessed noun receives a derivational suffix of ‘form’ or ‘consistency’, these, like incorporated classifiers (examples 158-159) or noun classifiers – (cf. 4.6.2.2), also function as anaphora representing the referents when the latter have already been expressed in the communication."

P.S. "Anaphora" is also used to refer to the overall process. But you have one specific anaphor, two specific anaphorA.

OR:
when this has already been referred to/referenced in the communication.
The perfect tense seems to sound better in English.
Boa sorte.
