contrary to Kaplan’s theory, Frege’s view hints at a treatment of all indexicals as something necessarily linked, in analogy with demonstratives, to some non-linguistic features, where we may also hypothesize the connection with different modes of presentation given by different kinds of demonstrations.

Abstract
contrary to Kaplan’s theory, Frege’s view hints at a treatment of all indexicals as something necessarily linked, in analogy with demonstratives, to some non-linguistic features, where we may also hypothesize the connection with different modes of presentation given by different kinds of demonstrations. Frege’s attitude is reminiscent of remarks on demonstratives widely discussed by Brugmann [1904] and Bühler [1934], claiming a strict link between indexicals, demonstratives and gestures, especially from the point of view of etymology.
