Referential Expressions

Referential expressions are words or phrases used to identify or point to specific people, places, or things within communication. Examples include proper nouns like "Alice," pronouns like "she," or descriptive terms like "the tallest building." Their purpose is to make clear what or whom we are talking about, providing clarity and preventing confusion. Context plays a key role in understanding which object or person a referential expression refers to, especially when similar references are present. Overall, they help us connect language to the real-world entities we discuss.
