Demonstrative pronouns are those pronouns which add to the forms
of the personal pronouns the mark [s]. Their redundant forms are ``ci'' and ``là``.
Remark: As regard to its morphological internal structure, the demonstrative pronoun
icelui is a particular case.
- Celles-ci /pos=p & type=dem sont plus jolies.
- Celui-là /pos=p & type=dem est mieux.
- Ceux /pos=p & type=dem qui connaissent Pierre l'apprécient.
Demonstrative pronouns can be pronouns that take as basic form
the mark [s]. From a semantic point of view, they correspond to ``neuter'' forms (degree zero of personal forms),
that is the opposition of the gender values masculine and feminine is neutralized.
From a morphological point of view, these forms are ``masculine'' forms.
- Ceci /pos=p & type=dem n'est pas une pipe.
- Ça /pos=p & type=dem n'a pas d'importance.
- Ce /pos=p & type=dem n'est pas grave.
- Cela /pos=p & type=dem aura des conséquences.
