Brecht, “Deixis in embedded structures”, in Foundations of Language, volume 11, number 4, pages 489-518:Therefore, we have replaced adnominal and adverbial demonstratives with a single category: “demonstrative modifier,” which can be applied either exophorically or endophorically, i.e., to refer to referents in the immediate environment, or to refer to linguistic aspects of the unfolding discourse.
