  Anaphora (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Under this definition, forward references are instead named cataphora, and both effects together are endophora.
Also, the term exophora names situations where the referent does not appear in the utterances of the speaker, but instead in the real world.
The term anaphor is used within generative grammar to refer to reflexive pronouns and reciprocal pronouns in English (and comparable forms in other languages).

 What is exophora?
Exophora is reference of an expression directly to an extralinguistic referent.
The referent does not require another expression for its interpretation.

 Anaphora
Those linguists would define forward-references as cataphora and call both effects together endophora.
Another example of reference is exophora, where the referent does not appear in the text, but instead in the real world.
Other linguists would define anaphora generically to include all of these referential effects.

It is amusing to note in passing that Schachter's own exophora examples, apart from the hair dye ad that provides his title, are all formulaic phrases typical of superficial social interaction in a restaurant or night club.
Certainly, they have the form of VP ellipsis fragments, and have occurred frequently as VP ellipsis fragments; but they have taken on a lexical life of their own, as commonly heard phrases often do.
They do not indicate that exophora is freely available for VP ellipsis fragments, they indicate that phrases can become lexically fossilized.

Introduction\ \ \pard\pardeftab720\qj \f0\b0 \cf0 \expnd0\expndtw0\kerning0 Discourse anaphora is a means of managing the memory representation of the discourse being constructed by the speech participants on the basis of a co-text as well as a relevant context (for further details of this view, see Cornish, 1999; 2003).
But see also the articles \'d2Anaphora, cataphora, exophora, logophoricity\'d3, \'d2Anaphora, Philosophical aspects\'d3, and particularly \'d2Deixis and Anaphora, Pragmatic approaches\'d3 in the present volume, for somewhat different perspectives.
Where discourse is concerned, it is clear that not all referents will have been introduced via an explicit textual antecedent: it is also possible for them to be evoked \'d2obliquely\'d3 in terms of an association or a (stereotypical) inference of some kind (see especially example (1) below).

The deictic procedure would not be appropriate in the case of exophora, just because the referent exists }{\s5\f0\fs24\i\lang2057{\*\listtag0}\'ab}{\s5\f0\fs24\lang2057{\*\listtag0}outside the text}{\s5\f0\fs24\i\lang2057{\*\listtag0}\'bb}{\s5\f0\fs24\lang2057{\*\listtag0}, in the situational context \uc1\u8211\'96 unless it is a question of specifically directing the addressee\uc1\u8217\'92s attention towards a referent which is not yet in his or her attention focus.
Erica Walz confirms that no cross was visible in the scene at issue, nor had one been explicitly mentioned in the co-text preceding this reference.
It is thus an instance of indirect, and not direct anaphora (exophora).

 Chapter VIII
Halliday and Hasan (1976) suggest the term exophora for this usage (in analogy to “anaphora” and “cataphora”, cf.
Exophora is not strictly co-reference (IV.21), since there is no other expression in the text besides the pro-form; one could argue that there is some corresponding expression held in active storage without being uttered, but this argument is certainly contestable.
Exophora can designate other participants besides producer and receiver, for instance, via third-person pronouns or deictics (“pointing words”) like ‘this’ and ‘that’:

 CHAPTER TWO
Some types of cohesion increased with grade level namely collocation and the use of synonyms.
Other types of cohesion decreased with grade level, namely exophora, causal conjunctives and temporal conjunctives.
Greater use of synonyms and collocation by higher grades seems to reflect vocabulary development and greater tendency to elaborate.
