Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book delves into the intricate phenomenon of indexical shift, where the meaning of indexicals in speech or attitude reports is influenced by the context of the attitude event rather than the original utterance. Amy Rose Deal presents a detailed analysis of the semantics and syntax involved, creating a typology that balances the diversity of this phenomenon across languages with the ability to predict new instances. The study encompasses various languages, with a particular emphasis on Nez Perce, Zazaki, Korean, and Uyghur, offering a rich exploration of linguistic variation.
