Clear understanding of the demonstrative use of expressions, the author argues, is a complicated philosophical task. We have to decide whether relevant contextual factors that determine semantic values of demonstratively used expressions are: (i) speaker's intentions; (ii) speaker's pointings; (ii) teller-hearer attention. Arguments supporting (ii) are given - e.g. the author thinks that there are mistakes in arguments favouring intentions over pointings and that the careful analysis of the notion of intending shows that typical causes of pointings are treated as having property of influencing semantic values of expressions. However, since this last feature can be properly predicated of pointings themselves, proponent of (i) confuses intentions with effects of expressing them.
