2. Reason / D. Definition / 11. Ostensive Definition

18889	Ostensive definitions needn't involve pointing, but must refer to something specific [Salmon,N]
	Full Idea: So-called ostensive definitions need not literally involve ostension, e.g. pointing, but they must involve genuine reference of some sort (in this case reference to a sample of water).
	From: Nathan Salmon (Reference and Essence (1st edn) [1981], 4.11.2)
