In syntactic analysis, if a word refers to a previous word, the previous word is called the "antecedent".
Stephen C. Leveferent空指

Words can often be meaningful without having a referent. Fictional and mythological names such as "Bo-Peep"藏猫游戏(面孔一隐一现以逗小孩 的游戏)and "Hercules" illustrate this possibility.

Certain sects of Judaism and other religions consider it sinful to write, discard, or deface the name of the divine. To avoid this problem, the signifier G-d is sometimes used, though this could be seen as a sign that refers to another sign with an absent referent.

Stephen C. Levinson

Sometimes the word-object relation is called ―denotation‖指示; the word denotes the object. The converse relation, the relation from object to word, is called ―exemplification‖例示; the object exemplifies what the word denotes.

1.6 reference => pragmatic problem(exophora)

ex.: You are sleeping in a hotel room. Somebody suddenly knocks on your door and you do not know who this person is. So you ask: Who is this? The answer could be: It's me. => me always refers to I, I = speaking me => Utterance = true, but uninformative because there is no known referent for me => me = deictic word because me changes with the person uttering it

1.7 signifier and signified

The semantic sign can be considered a subset of a more general concept, the linguistic sign, first elucidated by Ferdinand de Saussure.

1.2 In semantics and syntax
Modern academic study of reference has been developing since the 19th Century.(Reimer, Marga (2009). "Reference". Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy ) In semantics, reference is generally construed as the relationships between nouns or pronouns and objects that are named by them. Hence, the word "John" refers to John. The word "it" refers to some previously specified object. The object referred to is called the "referent" of the word.[2]

中新网(北京) ,中新社温哥华2月22日电 (记者 夏宇华 赖海隆)
A sign contains two parts, the signified (a thought that represents an object), and the signifier (the sound or written word). Both have a referent (the actual physical object).
but endless concrete and abstract methods can be used intentionally. This includes methods that intentionally hide the reference from some observers, as in cryptography Secret writing.

Stephen C. Levinson

In general, an anaphoric expression is represented by a pro-form替代形式or some kind of deictic. In some theories, the strict definition of anaphora includes only references to preceding utterances. Under this definition, forward references are instead named cataphora后/下指 (Bühler 1934:121 in Lyons 1977; Halliday & Hasan. 1976). ), and both effects together are endophora内指、内照应(an expression which refers to something intralinguistic, i.e. in the same text).
English[M].Beijing:Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press

Personal reference人称照应: does not only refer to persons is indicated by personal pronouns (they) and possessive pronouns (my, mine) Demonstrative reference指示照应: Demonstrative pronouns (this, then, the) Comparative reference比较照应: Adjectives or adverbs of similarity and difference (same, similar, otherwise)
