This is a system of three demonstratives, but we are not sure whether this is a person- or distance-oriented system or something else. None of them speaks the language (while they have a fairly good understanding of Rutul grammatical system). The corpus is by far not big enough to provide evidence (as is probably often the case with demonstratives). Grammaticality and appropriateness judgments in artificial settings are not consistent. </div><div><br></div><div>Can you indicate successful field / experimental studies that deal with this and are specific about their protocol and experiment design?

We have some ideas, but wanted to ask - and discuss these ideas - with anyone who has experience in using this or another questionnaire on deictic pronouns. We would also be grateful for additional references in the literature.</div><div><br></div><div>You may as well reply to my personal email, with copies to the students (in the copy above),</div><div><br></div><div>Michael Daniel </div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
