I show that the central properties of the approach proposed there make possible a new rapprochement between the theoretical analyses of verbal meaning across the visual and auditory modalities.\u00a0 The innovation of the new theory is that it partitions the verbal extended projection into a lower symbolic zone and a higher instantiational (situational) zone mediated by the demonstrative act (cf. Davidson 2015, Henderson 2017).\u00a0 First I will lay out the system, and then I will give examples of how it can be used in a formal account of the role of iconicity across modalities. The main feature of the new approach is that it de-exoticizes the ideophone and the iconic symbol, making it the clue and model for all verbal symbolizing.\u00a0 Finally, I show how the reification of the demonstration event gives\u00a0 a new perspective on indexical content and indexical shift and its typology across languages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Verbal Symbols and Generalized Demonstrations Gillian Ramchand \u00a0 Abstract: In this talk I develop a new theory of the ingredients of semantic composition for the verb phrase, building on recent &hellip;
