| Phrase | reference |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "reference" means something that is related to looking for information: "She couldn't find any reference materials about deep sea fishing at the local library, so this weekend she'll go to the larger university library." A "reference" is also a person who can provide a recommendation based on one's qualifications: "To apply to that school, you must list at least three references who are familiar with your professional experience." In an academic article or book, a "list of references" is a list of the other books and articles where information was found and that was used to write the article or book: "Our teacher reminded us to include a list of references at the end of our report." Finally, a "reference" can mean something that mentions something else: "Even though Tony has breathing problems, he almost never makes reference to his illness." |
