19.2.3.Demonstrative pronouns
quickinfo
This section discusses the third (and final) main type of pronoun: demonstratives. A demonstrative pronoun differs from a personal or possessive pronoun in that it can be used as an independent argument and as a modifier of a larger noun phrase. Like articles, demonstrative pronouns can be held responsible for the referential properties of the noun phrases they modify: they can be definite or indefinite. Demonstrative pronouns are like possessive pronouns in that they usually evoke a partitioning of the entities in the domain of discourse (domain D). For example, the noun phrase deze boekenthese books differs from de boeken in that it does not refer to the whole set of books in domain D, but to a subset of them. This section consists of two parts: Section 19.2.3.1 will discuss the core functions of demonstrative pronouns and provide a classification of the various subtypes, and Section 19.2.3.2 will focus on some more special uses of demonstratives.
