For example, in a language with indexical shift, &#8220;I&#8221; may refer to Bob in a sentence like &#8220;Who did Bob think I saw?&#8221;. The last 15 years have seen an explosive growth in research on indexical shift cross-linguistically. In this talk, I discuss three major generalizations that emerge from this work, and present a theory that attempts to explain them. The account that I develop concerns the syntax of indexical shift along with its semantics, and has consequences for the linguistic encoding of attitudes de se. Throughout the talk I will exemplify indexical shift primarily, though by no means exclusively, with data from original fieldwork on Nez Perce.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Amy Rose Deal (UC Berkeley) Title: Shifty asymmetries: toward universals and variation in shifty indexicality Time: Friday, 04\/15\/2016, 3:30-5:00pm Venue: 32-141 Indexical shift is a phenomenon whereby indexicals embedded in speech and attitude reports depend for their reference on the speech\/attitude report, rather than on the overall utterance.
