DEIXIS
DEFINITION OF DEIXIS
 “Deixis is the relationship between language and context which is reflected in the
structures of languages themselves. Diexis concerns ways in which the interpretation of
utterances depends on the analysis of that context of utterance” (Stephen C. Levinson)
 “Deixis is a technical term for one of the most basic things we do with utterances which
means ‘pointing’ via language; it is usually called deictic expression or indexicals.”
(George Yule)
 Deixis is any word that cannot be interpreted without reference to physical context: the
speakers, addressee, time, and place of utterance.
 The importance of deitic information for the interpretation of utterances is
perhaps best illustrated by what happens when such information is lacking
(fillmore,1975:38-9)
Example:
 Finding the following notice on someone’s office door:
“I’ll be back in an our”
In this example we don’t know when it was written, we cannot know when the
writer will return
 Or imagine that the lights go out as harry has just begun saying:
“listen, I’m not disagreeing with you but with you, and not about this but about
this”
In these examples above cannot be said to be deixis if the speakers and
addressees differ in interpretation of context. So to speak, for use face-to-face
interaction or use gesture.
(Stephen C. Levinson)
Philosophical Approach
Deixis = indexical expressions = indexicals
how truth-conditional-semantics deals with the certain natural language expressions
 Deitic expressions depend on the speaker and the addresse sharing the same
context, they have their most basic uses in face to face spoken interaction.
(Stephen C. Levinson)
Example:
 “Letizia De Ramolino was the mother of Napoleon”
 The individual known as Letizia De Ramolino was in fact identical to the
individual who was the mother of Napoleon.
 The truth doesn’t depend on who says it, but simply on fact history
 “I am the mother of Napoleon”
 It’s true if the person uttering the sentence is identical to the individual who is
the mother of Napoleon, and false otherwise.
 it depends on who says it, we need to know the fact of the history, and
certain details about the context it was uttered.
Descriptive Approaches
 Given the undoubted importance of deixis to philosophical, psychological and
linguistic approaches to analysis of language
Five Mayor Categories of deixis:
Buhler,1934; Frei,1944; fillmore,1966; Lyons1968
Person Deixis
Time Deixis
Place Deixis
Person Deixis
 Person Deixis : Any expression to point to a person

addresees (you, your, yourself, yourselves, yours)
 Third Person: The encoding of reference to persons and entities which are
neither speakers nor addresses of the utterance in question (she, he, they, her,
him, them)
Example:
 First person:
 In face-to-face meeting :
“I can say I’m Joe Bloggs”
 On the Telephone I must say :

“Bring that here and take this there”
 Distal : away to speaker (That, those,there)
Example:

“We’re there”
Discourse Deixis
 Discourse Deixis is Discourse, or text, deixis concern the use of expressions within some
utterance to refer to some portion of the discourse of the discourse that contains
that utterance (including utterance itself). (Stephen C. Levinson)
 Example:
 “I bet you haven’t heard this story”
 That was the funnies story I’ve ever heard
 This deixis can be shown through anaphora, anaphora usually concern the
use of a pronoun to referto the same referent as some prior term, in example:
 “Harry’s a sweetheart; he’s so considerate”
Sosial Deixis
 Social deixis concerns “ that aspect of sentence which reflect or estabilish or are
determined by certain realities of the social situation in which the speech act
occurs “ (fillmore, 1975 :b76).
 Stated that social Deixis concerns with the aspect of sentences with reflect
realities of social situation participans, (1983, p. 90)
Two Basic Kind Of Social Deitic
Information:
 Relational social deixis
The deitic reference to a social relationship between the speaker and addresse.
The relational vareity is the most important, and the relations that typicallly get
expressed are those between:
i. Speaker and referent (e.g. Referent honorifics)
ii. Speaker and addressee (e.g. addressee honorifics)
iii. Speaker bystander (e.g. Bystanderor audience honorifics)
iv. Speaker and setting (e,g. Formality levels)
In english, relational social deixis may be a lexical items (e.g. My husband,
teacher, cousin, ect), pronouns (you, her)
Example: “My husband goes to work to the office”
 Absolute social deixis is a deitic reference usually expressed in certain forms of
address which will include no comparison of the ranking of the speaker and
addresse here will be only a simple referenceto the absolute status of the
addresse
 For example: your higness, Mr. President, your majesty
