One central idea undergirding this programmatic effort is that use of different determiners reflects different "viewing arrangements" for the depicted scenes, whereby the speaker is covertly invoked as the "perceiving" self that impinges on such different construals. Four different viewing arrangements are suggested for four different groups of determiners and the "public" nature of the scene construal typically cued by the definite article is briefly discussed.}, pages = {1--12}, title = {Viewing Arrangements and the Perceiving Self: An Embodied Reanalysis of the English Definite Article}, volume = {27}, year = {2013} }
