All this comes to saying that the person of whom we say “he has pain” is, by the rules of the game, the person who cries, contorts his face, etc. The place of the pain – as we have said – may be in another person's body. If, in saying “I”, I point to my own body, I model the use of the word “I” on that of the demonstrative “this person” or “he”. (This way of making the two expressions similar is somewhat analogous to that which one sometimes adopts in mathematics, say in the proof that the sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180˚. | All this comes to saying that the person of whom we say “he has pain” is, by the rules of the game, the person who cries, contorts his face, etc. The place of the pain – as we have said – may be in another person's body.

We say “α = α'”, “β = β'”, and “<u>γ = γ</u>”. The first two equalities are of an entirely {{BBB TS reference|Ts-309,115}} different kind from the third.) In “I have pain”, “I” is not a demonstrative pronoun. | We say “α = α'”, “β = β'”, and “<u>γ = γ</u>”.
