| Index words: index words are words like “here”, “there”, “now”, “me”, etc. which require a closer determination, so that a sentence which includes them can be determined whether it is true or false. A sentence with index words is therefore context-dependent. Index words are not demonstratives. See also deixis, anaphora, context dependency, indexicality._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

David B. Kaplan on Index Words - Dictionary of Arguments
Newen I 114 Index words/language competence/competence/indicators/Newen/Schrenk: Index words are used by competent speakers by means of a rule - e. g. "I" refers to the speaker - "here" refers to the place of utterance. >Competence. Newen I 117f Index Words/Indicators/Direct Reference/Kaplan: For example, I am here today - Truth conditions/WB: are only adequate if the sentence is true but not necessarily true. For example, it is said of Carina that she was in Bochum on New Year's Eve, true, if she is in Bochum that day - true due to the conditions of utterance - she is not necessarily in Bochum. >Contingency. Newen I 118 Index Words/Indicators/Kaplan: Thesis: Indicators are referential expressions, i. e. the standard meaning is always the designated object - following Kaplan's example this is a common understanding - Vs: anonymous threatening letter: here the author is determined by linguistic competence. >Two-dimensional semantics._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
