2. W HAT IS REFERRING ? In linguistics , " referring " typically refers to the process by which language is used to identify or denote entities in the world . This involves using words , phrases , or other linguistic expressions to point to or refer to specific objects , people , places, concepts , or ideas. Referring is a fundamental aspect of language , as it allows speakers to communicate about the world around them and to share information about particular entities with others .

3. FUNCTIONS IN REFERRING: To Identify : Referring can serve to identify a specific entity in a listener's or reader's environment or memory. To Categorize : Referring can categorize an entity under a broader class or concept (e.g., calling something a "bird" or an "animal"). To Imply Relationships : Through referring, speakers can imply spatial, temporal, or possession relationships. CHALLENGES IN REFERRING: Ambiguity : Referring expressions can sometimes be ambiguous if the context does not clearly define what or whom the expressions are pointing to. Vagueness : Some referring expressions can be vague, such as when the category or entity they refer to is not specifically defined or delimited.
