Features: This book applies the theory of "deixis" and the theory of "cohesion" to reclassify Chinese demonstrative pronouns such as "this" and "that." It also uses a large amount of authentic text as corpus to explore the patterns or tendencies of gestures and non-gesture deictics, as well as phenomena like reference and pre-reference in situational and contextual contexts.
