DEIXIS

It is the part of semantics and pragmatics, related to the other words that are used to indicate other elements. Words like "you, there is, here, this, etc. deicticas are expressions, which serve to draw people, situations, places, etc. 

An expression used by a speaker/writer to identify something is called deictic expression (or indexical).

The sentence below contains a number of deictic expressions.

of the utterance.




TYPES DIXIES

There are three main types of deixis:

Personal: pronouns such as I and you.

Spatial: words describing the speaker in space or in relation to other objects such as here and there, come and go.

Temporal: words describing the speaker in terms of time such as now, then, yesterday and verb tenses.

Out of context, we cannot understand the sentence, because we don't know who you and he refer to respectively, and what, where and when something is to be left. According to referential content, deixis can be put into person deixis, place deixis, time deixis and discourse deixis.
