The pragmatics of imperative and declarative pointing

Year: 2004
Type: article
Abstract: Bates (1976) is the starting-point for an analysis of pointing that does not involve explicit higher-order intentions. It is claimed that declarative pointing is essentially intersubjective, while imperative pointing is based on behaviourally motivated regularities. Declarative pointing has an indicating function. Other behaviours associated with it pertain either to its preparatory and enabling conditions or to its perlocutionary effects.
