Abstract

This article discusses different considerations about the concept of deixis. According to world linguists, the deixis category is one of the categories of pragmalinguistics. Deixis plays a particularly important role in language. Deixis is the function of a linguistic unit expressed as meaning, or expressed through lexical and grammatical means. The relation of deixis to the context and speech situation indicates its relevance to pragmatics. Deixis includes the components of the speech act, the subject, the time and space localization of the fact. Appropriate verbal means are called deictic expressions or elements. Deictic elements show themselves as a style of reference. They perform a marking function and are attached to each item depending on the choice of speech moment.
