  • Demonstratives are deictic words (they depend on an external frame of reference) that indicate which entities a speaker refers to and distinguishes those entities from others. Demonstratives are employed for spatial deixis (using the context of the physical surroundings of the speaker and sometimes the listener) and for discourse deixis where the meaning is dependent on something other than the relative physical location of the speaker, for example whether something is currently been said or was said earlier. The demonstratives in English are this, that, these, those, yonder, and the archaic yon, possibly followed by one(s) in the case of pronouns, as explained below.
