THE CONCEPTS OF REFERENCES IN SEMANTIC

Abstract

In semantics, reference is generally construed as the relationships between nouns or pronouns and objects that are named by them. In this relationship, the first object is said to refer to the second thing. The second thing is referred to as a name. The referent of the first object is the second object, the one to which the first object refers. A name is frequently a word, an expression, or some other symbol. A material object, a person, an event, an activity, or an abstract concept can all be used as a referent. In the research in this article, the researcher uses qualitative research methods.
