WHAT DOES CATAPHORA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Cataphora

In linguistics, cataphora /kəˈtæfərə/ is used to first insert an expression or word that co-refers with a later expression in the discourse. An example of strict, sentence-internal cataphora in English is the following sentence: ▪ When he arrived home, John went to sleep. In this sentence, the pronoun he appears earlier than the noun John that it refers to, the reverse of the normal pattern, where a referring expression such as John or the soldier appears before any pronouns that reference it. Both cataphora and anaphora are types of endophora. As a general rule, cataphora is much less frequent cross-linguistically than anaphora.
