摘要

　　In the philosophy of language, two types of beliefs about oneself are commonly distinguished: (i) beliefs held about oneself in a first-person way, and (ii) beliefs held about oneself in a third-person way. Beliefs of the former type - self-locating beliefs - are considered to be de se, and beliefs of the latter type, to be de re (e.g. Castañeda 1966, Perry 1979, Lewis 1979, Feit 2008). How, then, can the attribution of de se beliefs from a third-person point of view be represented? Castañeda (1966, 1967, 1968) created an artificial pronoun he*/she*/it* to encode the attribution of a de se belief from a third-person perspective. He called this artificial pronoun a ‘quasi-indicator’ and claimed that it is the only device that allows the marking of de se belief from a third-person viewpoint.

　　The aim of this paper is twofold. First, I shall take a look at two types of linguistic expressions: (i) logophoric expressions in West African languages, and (ii) long-distance reflexives in East, South, and Southeast Asian languages, showing that both can function as a quasi-indicator in the sense of Castañeda. My second goal is that given that quasi-indicators are largely a pragmatic phenomenon (e.g. Perry 1983), I shall provide a formal pragmatic analysis of the marking of de se attribution by the two types of linguistic expressions and the related use of regular expressions/pronouns in these languages in terms of my version of the neo-Gricean pragmatic theory of anaphora. See Huang (e.g. 1991, 1994/2007, 2000, 2007, 2010, 2016, 2017) and Levinson (2000).

　　The topic of this paper is at the intersection between the philosophy of language and pragmatics, and the paper advances neo-Gricean pragmatics based on an empirical study of two types of linguistic expressions in a wide range of the world’s languages.
