Names, Demonstratives, and Expressives

Names and demonstratives are the two main tools through which language hooks to the world. Both linguists and philosophers have been developing formal frameworks to model the relationship between contextual elements and such referential mechanisms. Lately, attention has been driven to the possibility of applying formal modeling also to the study of the expressive aspects of linguistic meaning. The aim of “Names, Demonstratives, and Expressives” is to attract scholars interested in the interface between those two aspects, from the perspective of different fields — such as linguistics, philosophy, psychology and logics — and to facilitate the interaction among them.
