In recent years there has been a heated debate on how to accommodate John Perry's observations about the essentiality of indexicality into our models of linguistic communication. This article is an attempt at providing a new perspective on this issue. I argue that we should jettison two elements taken for granted by the views I present, and criticize, here: no centring, uncentring, recentring and multicentring. These elements are: (1) taking the asserted content to be a part of the communication process and (2) assumptions that the indexical belief of the speaker, when successfully communicated, must be acquired by the hearer as indexical, too. The theory of indexical communication that I propose here is laid out in the mental files framework and devoid of the two aforementioned elements.

中心命题，主张和沟通

近年来，关于如何将John Perry关于索引性的必要性的观点纳入我们的语言交流模型的争论一直很激烈。本文试图在这个问题上提供新的观点。我认为我们应该抛弃采取两种元素授予的意见我现在和批评，在这里：没有定心，uncentring，重定心和multicentring。这些要素是：（1）将主张的内容作为沟通过程的一部分，以及（2）假设说话者的索引信念在成功交流后也必须由听众作为索引而获得。我在这里提出的索引传播理论是在心理文件框架中提出的，没有上述两个要素。
