[Lingtyp] demonstratives - how (relatively) stable?

[Mark Post]

Dear Listmembers,

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).

Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Mark
