It seems like there might be a misunderstanding in the phrasing of your question. Let’s clarify the terms involved:

  1. A referent is typically a word or expression that refers to something, often a noun or noun phrase.
  2. A pronoun substitutes for a noun, often referring back to a noun mentioned earlier in the text.
  3. A possessive refers to a form that indicates ownership or a relationship, often used with nouns or pronouns (like "my," "his," "hers," "the dog’s").

Based on this, we may conclude that:

  • A pronoun can refer to a noun (the referent).
  • Possessive pronouns show ownership or relationship.

So if you are looking to fill the blanks, it might read:

"A referent is a noun that refers to a pronoun that indicates possession."
