| Citazioni | The referential shifting is critical. Note that while "bachelor" is purely denotational, "the bachelor" is indexical because its referent will change from one use to another. What about innovative verbs? We will argue that they are neither purely denotational nor indexical, for they have a SHIFTING sense and denotation. They constitute a new category that we will call CONTEXTUALS. |
