It is called anaphora, not antecedant.

My dictionary has two definitions for "anaphora". Of the two, the one
that seems most relevant is "the device of syntatical cross reference
through pronouns, auxilliary verbs, etc." However, I wasn't asking a
question about a syntatic device. I'm asking about the thing that
linguistic device is used for. Specifically, "the word, phrase or
clause to which a pronoun refers", which is, verbatim, my dictionary's
4th definition for "antecedent". In other words, I was asking "What
does the word 'this' refer to?"
