Linguistic features which signal social contexts have been referred to as indexicals (Jakobson, 1960; Lyons, 1977; Morris, 1946; Ochs, 1989; Peirce, 1931–58; Silverstein, 1976). Typically, indexicals index diverse contexts. However, we still do not know much about the complex relations between a particular linguistic feature and the diverse contexts indexed by that feature. This article discusses one such indexical in Japanese: the sentence‐final particle no. Because of the diversity of social contexts that no indexes, no has puzzled a number of linguists. The present paper proposes that the sentence‐final particle no indexes group authority for knowledge. This indexical meaning helps constitute diverse social contexts. This treatment of no incorporates and integrates points made about no by other researchers
