The ways of expressing deixis in different languages

Abstract

Deixis is a linguistic notion within the domain of pragmatics. Pragmatics studies the way individuals produce and comprehend communicative acts of speech in a concrete speech situation. The ability to produce and comprehend these acts requires a special knowledge of context. That’s why deixis is a crucial element of pragmatics. It is closely related to the context of an utterance and the structure of language. Deictic elements are present not only in literary texts but in other pragmatic texts such as newspaper articles or even everyday speech. There are two main divisions of deictic elements. According to traditional linguists there are three main types of deixis: Person deixis, Temporal deixis and Spatial deixis. Modern linguists recognize two extra divisions. They are: Social deixis and Discourse deixis.
