Hilan Bensusan clarifies the logic and structure of an essentially situated and indexical metaphysics that is paradoxical and can also be regarded as a chapter in the critique of metaphysics. Bensusan articulates a metaphysical view of the other - both human and non-human, in what Meillassoux calls 'the great outdoors' - that can never be totalised into a single or univocal whole. He develops an innovative account of perception, as a matter of our irreducibly situated relationship to this non-totalisable outdoors. In the book's coda, Bensusan underscores the social-political implications of this radical metaphysics in a postcolonial context in a meditation on the sites of Potosi in the Andes and Yasuni National Park in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

This volume explores the concept of linguistic indexicality and its significance in language structure and change. Originating from a workshop held at the 54th Annual Meeting of the Societas Linguistica Europaea, the book provides a comprehensive examination of indexicality as a semiotic phenomenon. It presents theoretical discussions on how indexical functions contribute to linguistic meaning and analyzes their role in both synchronic and diachronic linguistic processes. The book includes a diverse range of case studies across various languages, offering insights into indexical relations in phonology, morphology, syntax, and social interaction. Aimed at linguists and scholars in semiotics, the volume is part of the Trends in Linguistics series and features contributions from experts in the field.

This book considers important aspects of the syntax of sentences and their relation to the extra-sentential context. The relation between a sentence and the context is frequently reckoned to be in some sense "syntax-free", in that it is not syntactically represented but introducedpost-syntactically by semantic rules of interpretation. Alessandra Giorgi develops a different perspective through an empirically grounded exploration of temporal indexicality: she argues that the speaker's temporal location is specified in the syntactic structure. She supports her analysis withtheoretical and empirical arguments based on data mainly from English and Italian but also considering Chinese and Romanian.Professor Giorgi addresses some difficult and longstanding issues in the analysis of temporal phenomena - including the Italian imperfect indicative, the properties of the so-called future-in-the-past, and the properties of Free Indirect Discourse. She shows that her framework can account elegantlyfor all of them. Carefully argued, succinct, and clearly written her book will appeal widely to syntacticians and semanticists from graduate level upwards and to linguists interested in the syntax-semantics interface.
