	Linguistics & Semantics - Pragmatics - free Suite101 course
		Deixis is an important field of language study in its own right –and very important for the learners of the second language.
		Primary deixis is used to point a situation outside a text (situational deixis) or to the speaker’s and hearer’s (shared) knowledge of the word (knowledge deixis).
		Deixis is clearly tied to the speaker’s context, the most basic distinction between ‘near the speaker (proximal) and ‘away from the speaker’ (distal).

	Science Fair Projects - Deixis
		The later is an example of token-reflexive discourse deixis, in which a word in the utterance refers to the utterance itself.
		Switch reference is a type of discourse deixis, and a grammatical feature found in some languages, which indicates whether the argument of one clause is the same as the argument of the previous clause.
		Relational social deixis is where the form of word used indicates the relative social status of the addressor and the addressee.

	HLW: Word Meanings: Deixis and Person
		None of these references seems to be deictic either since their meanings do not seem to depend on the utterance context, on who says the sentence to whom and on when and where it is said.
		Deixis seems to be the last of these to emerge.
		Perhaps deixis is hard for a child because it requires switching perspective.

	Lecture notes, Ling 290
		Spatial deixis is usually coded via adverbs and demonstratives (which are usually pronouns, and may also be determiners).
		The moment of speech (now, present) is the deictic center, and the meaning of terms varies depending on whether the time referred to occurred before (past) or after (future) the deictic center, as well as construal of relative distance from the deictic center.
		The three parameters of discourse deixis are new versus old, definite versus indefinite, and referential versus nonreferential.

	Textual 'You' and double deixis in Edna O'Brien's 'A Pagan Place'
		Thus deixis designates "the way an expression is anchored to some essential point in context" (Frawley 274); deictic elements constitute "that aspect of the linguistic form because of which it can figure in the given, concrete context, because of which it becomes a sign adequate to the conditions of the given, concrete situation" (Volosinov 68).
		As Stephen Levinson puts it, "deixis concerns the ways in which languages encode or grammaticalize features of the context of utterance or speech event, and thus also concerns ways in which the interpretation of utterances depends on the analysis of that context of utterance" (54).
		Double deixis marks illocutionary overload, as it were, and instead of fostering strategic discriminations between specious (virtual) and actual addressees, doubly deictic you is part of a (postmodern) discourse strategy that constructs addressee and audience, participant and non-participant, as deeply and irremediably interlinked (cf.

		What I am terming `abstract deixis' is, according to Bühler (1982), concrete deixis that has been transposed to the realm of imaginary referents.
		As in all cases of pointing, abstract deixis entails a coordinate center, or origo, and an indicated line connecting this center to a locus (the G-hand is an iconic sign of this line).
		The components of deixis are all part of the referential creation of abstract pointing, and can be analyzed as parameters set by the speaker for the context.

		Deixis (pronounced die-ex-is) is the act of drawing attention to an object or activity.
		This is a social ability and it requires the child to know whether the adult is attending to something or not.The deictic terms of language depend on the ability of both speaker and addressee to work out each other's point of view, ensuring that both speaker and addressee can attend to the same referent.
		The earliest means of deixis that an infant can use is gaze.

		Deixis or not, both poets use "farawayness" and reported evidence as a "muting device".
		First, as Langacker (1987: 127) put it, not all spatial relationships are deictic, [7] "the position of the speaker serves as a default-case reference point" [8] sanctioned by established convention.
		But deixis proper is an essential ingredient in the verbal evocation of the sublime and of the emotional qualities and altered states of consciousness related to orientation.

		In each case the SDP refers to Max, who is the source of communication (8a-b, 8e), or the locus of the mental state: a state of fear as in (8c) or a state of knowledge of an inner purpose as in (8d).
		However, I argue here that deixis in natural language should be understood as consisting of two separate systems: the intensional and the extensional deictic systems.
		This division of the deixis system into an intensional and an extensional component dovetails with certain other ideas to be found in the literature.

	PH38D Deixis
		Lycan introduces the particular topic of deixis by reference to the wider contrasts of semantics and pragmatics, distinguishing the latter into 'semantic pragmatics' and 'pragmatic pragmatics'.
		It is easy enough to invoke context; the difficulty is spell out how this contribution is actually managed, since competent speakers don't have particular problems with sentences that rely to some extent upon their context of use.
		The particular contextual issue that Lycan focuses on is deixis or the use of indexical or demonstrative or token-reflexive items.

	Hausarbeiten.de - The Principles of Politeness and Social Deixis - Hauptseminararbeit
		It seems that deixis and politeness are connected in a way and that the use of different deictic expressions also has different effects on the politeness expressed through these deictic expressions.
		Interestingly, our present knowledge of deixis seems to be still fragmentary: According to Weissenborn and Klein, one reason for that may have to do with the fact that “deixis is the domain par excellence where language and reality meet” (1982: 3).
		Levinson depicts deixis to “essentially concern the ways in which languages encode or grammaticalize features of the context of utterance or speech event, and thus to concern ways in which the interpretation of utterances depends on the analysis of that context of utterance” (1983: 54).

	LOGOS MULTILINGUAL PORTAL
		La deixis se forma mayormente con expresiones de tiempo y lugar que no indican las coordenadas cronotópicas absolutas (por ejemplo, "el 29 de septiembre de 2002 en Madrid"), pero las declaran en términos relativos ("Ayer aquí", "Antes de que alguien viniera", "Esta vez lo logré").
		"Deixis", que procede del griego antiguo deíknymi, "yo muestro, yo señalo", significa "indicación", y puede, de hecho, compararse a los gestos que a veces acompañan a los enunciados.
		En estos términos, la deixis es un tipo de comunicación dentro del mundo propio en la que se da por sentado que el interlocutor pertenece a ese mismo mundo y no se tiene en cuenta la existencia de mundos ajenos.

		Recall the phenomenon of deixis, brought up in in Objection 4 against the Truth-Condition theory, and consider a heavily deictic sentence.
		The intensional logicians dealt with deixis by relativizing truth to an "index," which was a fixed set of contextual variables.
		Montague (1968) and Scott (1970) took an index to be an octuple consisting of a possible world, a time, a place, a speaker, an audience, a sequence of indicated or demonstrated objects, a "discourse-segment," and a "sequence of assignments to free variables" (never mind what those last two mean).

		The ubiquity of deixis throughout language (and communication) is unremarkable, as much of communication is involved in placing objects onto a mental "stage" for the Receiver to visualise.
		In this case deixis is intrinsic to the message; without it the message is useless.
		In addition, analogy and metaphor mean that actions can be seen as objects or deixis, objects can be seen as actions or deixis, and deixis can be seen as actions or objects.
