Alessandra Giorgi considers the semantic and syntactic nature of indexicals - linguistic expressions, as in I, you, this, that, yesterday, tomorrow, whose reference shifts from utterance to utterance. Carefully argued and clearly written her book will appeal widely to semanticists in linguistics and philosophy.
