Linguistic frame of reference is a frame of reference as it is expressed in a language.
A frame of reference is a coordinate system used to identify location of an object. In languages different frames of reference can be used. They are: the Relative frame of reference, the Intrinsic frame of reference, and the Absolute frame of reference. Each frame of reference in a language can be associated with distinct linguistic expressions.

earrings swinging,

eyes languid at the end of lovemaking,

who’s riding on top of you
protect you long.

of Vi.s».n»u, iva, Skanda,
and all those other gods?”
