What is the most appropriate abstract noun to describe the relationship between a reference and its referent?
What is the definition of reference?
I want to configure issue tracking from source? The link is a pair of emails. Each link is configured with different types. This is useful to explain the meaning of a particular link – a link alone is too vague. Why is a link type named “a reference a” a) caused B)?
For example: “variable x is a reference to value v” or “x references v”. When I hear the word reference I assume an implicit “a” like “walk” as a noun seems to mean “a walk” and not the act of walking itself.
Is the act of referencing best called reference? What is referentiality? Who or what is considered “reference”? What is better than these Terms?
What are some examples of abstract nouns?
I was referred to the link type in a Wikipedia entry (The Wikipedia article) as a referential link. Let me clarify its meaning. When A references B they are said to have a referential relationship.
