I think that man is brave .... is that a demonstrative or conjunction?
Top answer
In the salient interpretation, where man refers to an individual, that is a (demonstrative) determinative and the subordinator (subordinating conjunction) that is omitted: I think (that) that man is brave. In the reading where man means “mankind”, that is a subordinator.
