referese

Referese is a coinage used in discussions about referential systems. It is not an established term in major dictionaries or scholarly literature as of the current record. The word is typically treated as a neologism representing a hypothetical framework for how referential expressions function in language or data systems. The name combines refer- with the -ese suffix, following a convention used to label languages or dialects, suggesting a systematic way of referring rather than a specific object.

Possible meanings include: in linguistics, referese could denote the conventions by which speakers encode and track referents across discourse, including pronouns, definite descriptions, anaphora, and deictic expressions; in this sense, referese would describe the rules that govern what counts as a valid reference and how referents are introduced, linked, and recovered in subsequent sentences.

In computing or information science, referese might describe a formal notation or protocol for creating and resolving references between data items, such as pointers, identifiers, or URIs, along with rules for dereferencing, scope, and referential integrity in databases or knowledge graphs.

Because referese is not widely adopted, its use remains theoretical. Authors who mention referese typically do so to illustrate general issues in reference and description, or to propose a hypothetical framework for discussion rather than to report empirical results.
