De la théorie de l'indexicalité au contextalisme linguistique

The article undertakes an analysis and critical examination of Kaplan’s use of the concept of indexicality in his landmark 1977 lecture, “Demonstratives.” In contrast, it aims to show how Travis’s linguistic contextualism draws on the insights of ordinary language philosophers—particularly Wittgenstein’s theory of language games and Austin’s conventionalist theory—to offer an alternative to the referentialist theory of indexicality that currently dominates the field.
