Demonstratives play a crucial role in the acquisition and use of
language. Bringing together a team of leading scholars this
detailed study, a first of its kind, explores meaning and use
across fifteen typologically and geographically unrelated languages
to find out what cross-linguistic comparisons and generalizations
can be made, and how this might challenge current theory in
linguistics, psychology, anthropology and philosophy. Using a
shared experimental task, rounded out with studies of natural
language use, specialists in each of the languages undertook
extensive fieldwork for this comparative study of semantics and
usage. An introduction summarizes the shared patterns and
divergences in meaning and use that emerge.
