Then, the following table is the example of the table used in analyzing anaphoric reference of the utterance in Chapter IV with ‘The Grenade’ as the

it .” The
grenade 318 00:18:44 Harry
Hart “The day your father died, I missed
something
.” The grenade
The last step of this study is finding the inferences needed by the audience to find the referents. In finding the inference, the writer picked some items that are
found from the utterances in the collected data. The chosen items are found from the table ‘referent’. The writer then looked up the dictionary to find the definition
of the terms that will be used as the data of the inferences. The definition helped the writer to show the scope of the terms. The definition also helped the writer to
decide what item is included as what terms. For example, ‘a group of mercenaries’ is one of the items that are included as ‘military terms’ because the term includes
something relates to soldier or armed forces such as the army, navy, marines, and air force.
