<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Mark,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In fact the attached studies shows that deictic systems tend to be iconic (high F2 for proximal, low F2 for distal), and when deictic terms are de-iconizied due to regular sound change, they are constantly reconstructed in order to fit
into the iconic schema.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example Portuguese <i>aquele</i> was derived from the combination of the prefix
<i>accu </i>and the Latin distal demonstrative <i>ill- </i>which, the study argues, was motivated by the low F2 of the vowel of
<i>accu</i>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So deictic demonstratives are a good example of iconicity motivating sound and meaning change.</p>

<div> </div>
</div>
<div>Dear Listmembers,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was wondering whether anyone might have up-to-date information (i.e. from a recent-ish study) concerning the relative stability of demonstratives (referential modifiers and/or pronouns), both in terms of language-internal replacement by a lexeme and
in terms of language-external replacement by a loanword of the same category (though I'm more interested in the first one). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance for any assistance,</div>
<div>Mark</div>
