Demonstratives

There is no instance of a non-quantifying adjective preposed to the noun in Etruscan, whereas quantifying adjectives like numerals may prepose the noun as demonstratives do. ❋ Unknown (2010)

First off, we may wager that pśl is an unstressed type of pronoun because it's spelled without vowels just as postclitic demonstratives are eg. cl 'of this', tś 'to that'. ❋ Unknown (2010)

"The word *i = "that" would make a perfect and natural deictic, that could later have been merged onto the demonstratives KA and TA." ❋ Unknown (2010)

The word *i = "that" would make a perfect and natural deictic, that could later have been merged onto the demonstratives KA and TA. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In Etruscan, there's no question that the relative pronoun is declined for case as are all known pronouns and demonstratives. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Even so, there's no semantic sense in adding demonstratives in the places you require to make your idea work. ❋ Unknown (2010)

I've expanded my previously announced pdf to include not only my basic sketch of the Etrusco-Lemnian nominal declension but now also the pronouns and demonstratives as well. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Moreover, Kaplan's apparent problem with multiple occurrences of demonstratives is at least partly due to his assigning contents to expressions-in-contexts. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Nor domost of these afford trulyany free speech with respect to alsodiscussing true revolution and overthrowof those who have become career politicians now rather than representatives at all per the original American revolution althoughtheir methods were even more radicalas the Burr/Hamiilton duel at dawn demonstratives which wasunfortunatelytheir last resort and method. ❋ Unknown (2009)

As mentioned before, (true) demonstratives differ from pure indexicals, in that the reference and content an utterance of a demonstrative is not fixed "automatically" by the context's speaker, time, and location. ❋ Unknown (2009)

I'm not aware of languages developing demonstratives from articles rather than the other way around, although I'd be happy to be informed otherwise. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Many (though not all) theories of complex demonstratives that say that they are singular terms can be classed into three types, according to how strong a semantic role they attribute to the common noun phrases. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The unfortunate problem with Etruscan, Lemnian and Rhaetic (and probably too with Eteo-Cypriot and Eteo-Cretan) is that no personal endings appear to be attached to verbs in these languages despite the fact that many features like the 1ps and its oblique form (mi and mini), demonstratives and the declensional system (ie. the demonstrative accusative, s-genitive, animate and inanimate plural endings) all find direct connections to PIE. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Furthermore, complex demonstratives seem to describe objects in much the way that definite descriptions do, and many semanticists since Bertrand Russell have held that definite descriptions are quantifer phrases and not singular terms. ❋ Unknown (2009)

A second option is to move to Kaplan's other theory of demonstratives, the one that uses dthat-terms. ❋ Unknown (2009)

For Dummett argues that, without some associated categorial concept, we cannot single out objects (even using names or demonstratives) (1973/1981, 571). ❋ Thomasson, Amie (2009)

As Kaplan (1989b) notes, there are serious difficulties in assigning contents to true demonstratives with respect to contexts in which the agent does not have any relevant directing intentions and produces no demonstrations. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Unfortunately, this option may wreak havoc with the logic of demonstratives; it may, for instance, undermine attempts to allow argument (11) (in section 3.3) to be valid. ❋ Unknown (2009)
