A '''causal theory of reference''' is a theory of how terms acquire specific [[reference|referents]] based on evidence. Such theories have been used to describe many referring terms, particularly logical terms, [[proper names]], and [[natural kind]] terms. In the case of names, for example, a causal theory of reference typically involves the following claims:
النظرية السببية للمرجع هي نظرية عن كيفية اكتساب المصطلحات لمراجع محددة بناءً على الأدلة. تم استخدام مثل هذه النظريات لوصف العديد من مصطلحات الإحالة ، وخاصة المصطلحات المنطقية والأسماء المناسبة والمصطلحات اللطيفة الطبيعية. في حالة الأسماء ، على سبيل المثال ، تتضمن نظرية المرجع السببي عادةً الادعاءات التالية:
* a name's [[reference|referent]] is fixed by an original act of naming (also called a "dubbing" or, by [[Saul Kripke]], an "initial baptism"), whereupon the name becomes a [[rigid designator]] of that object.
