However, the behaviour of indexicals in mixed quotation make the pragmatic analysis harder to uphold. One needs to say that (42) is literally false, and while that is a move that can be made, it’s not particularly attractive, and so the pragmatic analysis has gone somewhat out of fashion, and has been argued against explicitly explicitly by Gomez-Torrente (2017), and implicitly by most of the linguists working in the field, who view the behaviour of indexicals as a key explanandum of a theory of mixed quotation, and not something to be explained away.
