Abstract
It is almost commonly admitted that occasional expressions are such as ‘I’, ‘this’, ‘today’, ‘here’, ‘yes’, ‘no’, and so on, as opposed to such as ‘Warsaw’, ‘red’, ‘ring’, ‘or’, and so on. There is also a somewhat general agreement in that the semiotic properties of occasional expressions — all or only some of them — depend not only upon the form of the expressions but on the circumstances of their use as well.
