Frank I 78
I/Anscombe: if it is not a proper name, it is obvious to assign it to the pronouns. But this is not said at all because "pronoun" is a "lump sack category", under which one can subsume everything.
>Names, >I, Ego, Self.
Frank I 94
I/name/pronoun/grammar/reference/Anscombe: if "I" is not a name, there are words that function like names, e.g. pronouns. Could "I" be a pronoun? This would be meaningless, because it is too undefined.
Pronouns: can also be variables: E.g. "If someone says this, he is a fool". This cannot be an identification of an object.
>Variables.
E.g. lie: the meaning of "I am not E.A." Is hardly preserved in the sentence "E.A. is not E.A"!
>Self-reference, >Reference, >Contradictions.
E.g. demonstrative pronoun "this": assumes that we know the answer to the question "this what?" . If so, we have a functioning logical subject.
>Demonstratives.
