Overlapping reference is situation where two referring expressions are not disjoint in reference, but not strictly coreferential either.
Example
the ill-formed idiom *we lost my way requires we and my to be strictly co-referential (cf. I lost my way), but we and my only have an overlapping reference, hence the ill-formedness.
