Demonstrative determiners indicate a specific object or thing by means of a verbal gesture.
|
|
For example, consider the sentences, "I want this basket," or "I want that basket."
|
|
The words "this" and "that" are demonstrative determiners.
|
|
They indicate which basket is wanted.
|
|
|
|
Demonstrative determiners are classified as either "near" or "far."
|
|
A "near" demonstrative determiner indicates something near the speaker.
|
|
A "far" demonstrative determiner indicates something at a distance from the speaker.
|
|
In the examples above, the word "this" is a "near" demonstrative determiner.
|
|
The word "that" is a "far" demonstrative determiner.
|
|
|
|
However, sometimes "near" and "far" demonstrative determiners do not necessarily indicate distance from the speaker.
|
|
Sometimes a speaker uses both a "near" and a "far" demonstrative determiner to indicate two different items that are the same distance.
|
|
Consider the example above.
|
|
If a person is buying a basket in a shop, he may say to the shopkeeper, "I want this basket, but I don't want that basket."
|
|
In cases like this, the "near" and "far" demonstrative determiners may not indicate distance.
|
|
The "near" and "far" demonstrative determiners may be a way a simply distinguishing the basket that is wanted from the basket that is not wanted.
|
|
This is a very common use of demonstrative determiners.
