How do I use ‘refer to’? [closed]
You can use arithmetic to refer to the process of doing a particular sum or calculation.
I don’t quite understand what ‘refer to’ means – even after consulting the dictionary! Can somebody explain it in a practical way, and give some more examples about it?
And I’d also like to know other meanings and usages of it if there is any.
1 Answer 1
The quote is incorrectly formed. In written text it would be acceptable with different punctuation. When spoken, I would consider it factually incorrect. In writing:
You can use ‘arithmetic’ to refer to the process of doing a particular calculation.
You can use the word ‘arithmetic’ to refer to the process of doing a particular calculation.
Of course, when spoken, there are no quotation marks, which is why you need to add «the word» to make your meaning clear.
In any case, in this usage to refer to means to describe or denote. That definition is not in some of the online dictionaries I looked at, but it is in my offline dictionary and it is the best definition I found.
Hopefully someone more versed than I am in naming verb tenses can explain why a word means something but you use a word to refer to something.
As for other uses of the word:
is a great example and a good link to more examples of other meanings.

Firstly, I searched the whole forum, I did not find what I need, so I have to post again.
Sometimes, I write a mail to somebody and enclose an attachment with mail, at the end of content, usually, I write » please refer to enclosed file for details»
I use «refer to» instead of «refer», but I saw somebody else uses «refer » instead of «refer to».
what’s right one?

It’s an example of the very loose way in which people use this verb.

This is a standard meaning of ‘refer’.
It is a useful word with a range of meanings which may take a little time to learn but are well worth knowing.
How do I refer to a word?
When writing, I sometimes want to refer to a word, as opposed to its meaning. For example: when correcting someone’s grammar or semantics (there versus their), or when pointing out exemplary vocabulary.
On websites like this, I can simply italicize the word in question.
I’ve been using quotation marks, but now I’ve started second-guessing myself.
Abjure is a good word.
Is there a good way to refer to a specific word without throwing off the reader?

There’s two types of solutions that I can think of:
If you use the former solution I think it’s best to go with single quotation marks, e.g.
Use Single Quotation Marks to Highlight Words Not Being Used for Their Meaning
It’s the convention in certain disciplines such as philosophy, theology, and linguistics to highlight words with special meaning by using single quotation marks instead of double quotation marks.
I don’t have a reference handy, but I was taught in school to enclose the word in quotation marks. Normally double-quotes, but if it’s nested inside a quote, then use single quotes.
While there are probably many cases where the meaning would be obvious, one can easily think of confusing cases. Like: «The word above should not be used here.» Do I mean the word spelled a-b-o-v-e? Or do I mean a word mentioned earlier in the document?
It’s like the old joke:
Boss: There’s one word I never want to hear you use again when rejecting a customer’s request. That word is «unacceptable». Please, never say it.
