Cataphora is a linguistic term that refers to the use of a word or phrase that points forward to another word or phrase that appears later in a sentence or discourse. In other words, a cataphoric reference anticipates something that will be introduced later. This is often used to create suspense, emphasize an idea, or provide a better flow to the narrative.
