Talk:Demonstrative pronoun
Pronouns that point to specific things: this, that, these, and those, as in “This is an apple,” “Those are boys,” or “Take these to the clerk.” The same words are used as demonstrative adjectives when they modify nouns or pronouns: “this apple,” “those boys.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.41.253.215 (talk) 10:38, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
This needs work[edit]
This article needs links and relation info to deictic, relative pronoun, etc., less POV (not English-centered), examples (not lists of pronouns in every language please!), and a general cross-linguistic definition. For a list of English pronouns and their usage (to link from English grammar) it would be better to have a separate page (English demonstrative pronouns). --Pablo D. Flores 14:32, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Merge with Demonstrative[edit]
There is already an article on demonstrative that essentially covers the same thing. Since that article is of better quality, should we merge this article with that one? --Umofomia 21:44, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed, so I've just turned it into a redirect. There was not much to merge really. I'll put demonstrative in my to-do list. --Pablo D. Flores 01:45, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
