回指是语言学领域研究较为广泛的一个复杂语言现象，研究角度具有多样化的特点。梁鲁晋老师的这部论著从功能和认知两大角度对语篇中的回指进行了理论探讨和应用分析，揭示了回指在语篇意义关系网络中的地位、特点及这些特点间的关系，可谓是对功能与认知这两角度在回指研究中的互补性、兼容性和可行性进行了有益探索。 在语言研究中，语言符号与其所指之间的关系，即指称，一直是人们所关注的问题。从广义来说，指称是词或短语与外部世界中的实体（即该词所代表的事物、行为、事件及特性）之间的关系；从狭义来说，指称是指词或短语与具体事物，如具体的树或具体的动物之间的关系。在自然语言中，指称所代表的这种“语符与实体间的关系”进一步抽象为两个语言要素间的关系，对其中一个语素（回指）的解释在某种程度上依赖于对另一语素（先行词）的解释。
