The demonstratives in Napali are outlined, and their operation within the language system is analyzed. Demonstratives in Nepali are words used to refer to places, things, names, and activities. The reference may be endophoric (in which case the referents are in the text) or exophoric (in which case the referents are in the context or situation). If the reference is endophoric, it is termed anaphoric when the referent is in the preceding part of the text, or cataphoric when the referent is in the succeeding part of the text. There are two kinds of demonstratives in Nepali: nominal and circumstantial. Nominal demonstratives are further divided into far nominal and near nominal demonstratives. Similarly, circumstantial demonstratives can be further subdivided into spatial and temporal types, and spatial demonstratives can be locational or directional. (Author/MSE)
