But our || this language game can, I think, show us a reason why one may want || might wish to make the demonstrative pronoun || say that the demonstrative pronoun is a name: for the demonstrative “this” can never be without a meaning || bearer. One might say, || : “So long as there is a this, then the word ‘this’ has meaning, no matter whether this is simple or complex.” – But in fact that || this does not make it a name. On the contrary, – for we don't use a name by making a demonstrative gesture, but only explain it || a name isn't used with a demonstrative gesture, but only explained by it.
