The book delves into the comparative analysis of demonstratives in German and Chinese, examining their discourse, textual, locative, and temporal applications. It challenges the traditional understanding that proximal demonstratives indicate closeness to the speaker, while non-proximal ones signify distance. By exploring these nuances, the author highlights the complexities of referential use in both languages, offering new insights into their grammatical and contextual functions.
