Abstract: . . .  such clue is gesture or gaze, which then becomes a part of the indexical sign. All this may seem coherent, but it does not suffice to establish clear boundaries to the phenomena. One problem is what Bühler [1934] (1982:21ff) called Deixis am Phantasma (‘deixis in the imagination’) in which one imagines oneself somewhere else, and shifts the deictic origo by a series of transpositions . Suppose I try to describe to you where I left the book, and I say “Go into my room, face my desk, and it’s right here . . .

In some pronominal systems 'plural' can be neatly analysed as augmenting a minimal deictic specification with 'plus one or more additional individuals' (AUG). Thus the distinction between I and We might be analyzed as (+S,- Aug), (+S,+AUG). A special motivation for such an analysis i . . .

Moreover, the field of indexical . . .
