In this paper I shall focus on Castañeda's notion of quasi-indicators and I shall defend the following theses: a) Essential indexicals ('I', 'here' and 'now') are intrinsically perspectival mechanisms of reference and, as such, they are not reducible to any other mechanism of reference ; b) Quasi-indicators (e.g. expressions like 'she (herself)' exist in natural language and cannot be explained away as merely reflexive pronouns ; c) Quasi-indicators are the only mechanism that allows the attribution of an indexical reference. As such they must appear in oratio obliqua constructions ; d) When linked to a referring NP, quasi-indicators, like anaphors, inherit their reference from the antecedent to which they are linked (and thus coindexed with). When linked to a quantified expression, quasi-indicators work like (quasi-indexical) bound variables ; e) Quasi-indicators must be understood along the lines of logophoric pronouns (from 'logos' meaning discourse and 'phoros' meaning bearing or transporting). As such, they are best explained using such notions as perspective and point of view.
