Deictic features: Evidence from Sḵwx̱wú7mesh determiners and demonstratives

Academic Work

In this paper, I describe the determiner and demonstrative system of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish). The determiners and demonstratives have previously been described as having deictic properties (Kuipers 1967, Jacobs (in Currie 1997). I provide evidence for the presence of deictic features on most of the determiners and all of the demonstratives. I also show that one of the determiners is more accurately described as non-deictic; this determiner lacks of all deictic features.
