I 643 Demonstratives/Brandom: "this": must be at least implicitly connected to a sortal! The same physical gesture may indicate a book, an envelope, a color, a person, or only its external form - unrepeatable per se. >Sortals. I 648 Demonstratives/Brandom: you cannot describe a coherent language in which expressions are used demonstratively, but not pronominally. (it is possible vice versa) - various Tokenings of this, here, or now are generally no recurrences of each other, or even co-identifiable, but only as a repeatable element, i.e. as elements of recurrence classes, they are substitutable. >Substitution, >Pronouns. I 654 Demonstratives/Possible World/Kaplan: introduces the rigidizing operator "tthis" and determines that tthis (!xDx) is to be rigid - it picks out from every world what it really refers to in the real world, while !xDx is not a rigid designator in general, because its denotation varies from world to world - (same function as "precisely this cat") - Names/Kyplean: can be understood as rigidized (tthisissed) descriptions and demonstratives. >David Kaplan. I ~ 654 Demonstratives/Possible World/Brandom: demonstrative tokenings can only recur anaphorically and thus rigidly. >Anaphora, >Rigidity. I 807 This/Demonstratives/Brandom: not really directly referential, but require implicit sortals.}, note = { Bra I R. Brandom Making it exlicit.
