abstract = ": From a synchronic point of view, domain-straddling indexicality covers the ability by one and the same category to function either as an anchoring category – with affinity to the function of deixis – or as a category pointing to mental elements as part of the linguistic context. A nutshell example is the causative mood in Greenlandic, traditionally regarded as a subordinate mood pointing to its main clause context. Clearly, however, verbs in this mood can function as main clauses and indicate not only elements of the linguistic context, but also presupposed features of the situation. Grammatical rules can transcend the sentence-boundary, not only in the sense of relating clauses to each other, but also in the sense of conveying instructions to the reader how to relate them to the pragmatic context of the utterance",
