Relating to exophoria, or describing a linguistic reference that points to something outside the text or conversation being discussed.
From 'exophoria' with the adjectival suffix '-ic'. In linguistics, this term also describes how words like pronouns can refer to things beyond the immediate discourse.
When someone says 'Hand me that!' and points at something you can both see, that's exophoric reference—the meaning points outside the conversation itself, unlike 'he' or 'she' which get their meaning from words earlier in the text.
