Reference in Fiction is a theoretical construct in literary theory that designates the phenomenon by which fictional texts establish semantic relationships to entities, events, or worlds outside their own narrative boundaries, distinguishing it from mere allusion or representation by positing reference as a truth-conditional dimension of fictional discourse.
