  We are able to disentagle the effects of the intraband and interband parts of
the bulk dielectric function on the bare dielectric anisotropy of the surface.
We show how the position, sign and amplitude of the structures observed in such
spectra depend on the above quantities. The lineshape of all the calculated
structures agree very well with the ones observed experimentally for samples
treated by suitable surface cleaning. In particular, we reproduce the observed
single peak structure of Ag at high energy, found to represent a state of the
clean surface different from the one giving the originally observed double peak
structure. This results is not reproduced by the 'local field' model.
