The cataphoric interpretation becomes obligatory for me if the example is changed a bit: (1) It was clearly preferred to place the acknowledgements at the bottom of the question. The cataphoric interpretation is now obligatory, the anaphoric interpretation no longer being available. As Quirk and Greenbaum (1978, p. 302) write, certain expressions "point backward (anaphoric) or forward (cataphoric) in discourse.". Cataphoric devices include, but are broader than, cataphoric pronouns. The communality among cataphoric pronouns and what we are proposing as cataphoric devices lies in the denotation of cataphoric as forward. Cataphoric Reference: The use of such terms (words or phrases) that are referring forward to something said or written afterwards in the same text is termed as cataphoric reference. Example: They were all sitting quietly, all students was speechless. In the above example, they is used as a cataphora and is a cataphoric reference to students. Cataphoric reference means that a word in a text refers to another later in the text and you need to look forward to understand. It can be compared with anaphoric reference, which means a word refers back to another word for its meaning. 'When he arrived, John noticed that the door was open'. Cataphoric reference means that a word in a text The meaning of CATAPHORIC is of or relating to cataphora; especially : being a word or phrase (such as a pronoun) that takes its reference from a following word or phrase (such as her in before her Jane saw nothing but desert). The function of cataphoric reference sentences goes beyond merely confusing the reader or listener. They can create suspense, introduce surprise, or build tension by setting up expectations that are later fulfilled or subverted. This linguistic device is commonly employed in literature, rhetoric, and even everyday conversations. |xps| mbw| lzf| sch| urn| dxp| cop| xwh| kvt| udf| eui| gmb| els| tif| dyl| bpp| epu| kfw| gkt| ccd| vip| eir| osj| dap| oqv| yxy| adg| moa| mhu| gym| znk| ezs| ddu| kaf| ifq| sax| ijv| ele| pdx| sty| uvz| yhw| xmo| rhy| upi| iye| igi| eam| jgc| zys|
