Abstract
There are three rival approaches to understanding the semantic nature of perceptual demonstrative thoughts: the object-dependent theory, the descriptive object-independent theory, and the predicative object-independent theory. All three theories are subject to serious objections. After detailing these, I sketch a more viable alternative, the property-dependent theory.
