"Archaic" term...pffff....THAT (to what does it refer?) the best you can come up with to defend yourself?

Sorry, DF. To dumb it down a bit for your feeble brain: a "referent" is something to which a word or phrase REFERS. HAAAAAAAA!!!! Such as in the case of an anaphoric pronoun.
Oh, how it often pains me to have to deal with linguistic "commoners".....

| | | guidogodoy wrote: | | To answer the "ese" vs. "esa" question: yes and no.
The slang "ese" (used as a form of address almost like "dude" or "guy") only exists in the masculine form. HOWEVER, "esa" exists as does a formal version of "ese" - they are both demonstrative adjectives AND pronouns.
ese (no accent) is the masculine singular demonstrative adjective meaning "that" (ie. ese libro = that book)
ése (with accent) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning (that ONE). As in all pronouns, you have to have established a referent: (No me gusta ese libro, prefiero ése - I don't like that book, I prefer that ONE...the one being implicit having established the masculine singular noun "el libro" as your referent).
Same goes for feminine singular: esa mujer - that woman; ésa = that one.
The plurals work the same but watch the form. Masculine plural of "ese" is "esos"; "ése" is "ésos" <==common error among illiterates to say "eses." Feminine plurals are normal: "esa" goes to "esas"'; the pronouns "ésa" goes to "ésas."
Hope this helps clarify, ¡güero!

Now, off to work I go. I asked it to do itself earlier this morning, but it flat out refused. See ya later!!

...And it should be ese!! Ahem...not that I would know anything about Chicano-speak...

I wore it because it has long sleeves and I was concerned that the weather would turn chilly that night. As it turned out, I was sweating like a pig!!! I had several Priest tees with me but all were short sleeved!!
