"The Language of Objects sheds new light on the sub-genre of Greek descriptive epigram, focusing on deixis as a springboard to understanding three different approaches to the materiality of texts: imagination-oriented deixis, pointing to referents conjured in the readers' mind; ocular deixis, addressing perceivable referents; displaced deixis, underscoring the subjective response of readers/viewers.
