    Deixis refers to expressions in language that depend on context for their interpretation. There are three main types of deixis: person deixis refers to pronouns like I, you, he; spatial deixis indicates relative locations like here and there; and temporal deixis refers to temporal markers like now, then. Deixis depends on who is speaking, their location in space and time, and establishes distance between people, places, and times referred to in an utterance. Deixis is a fundamental pragmatic aspect of language use.

    ABOUT DEIXIS

    Deixis is a technical term (from Greek) for one of the most basic things we do with
    utterances. It means ‘pointing’ via language. It is clear that deixis is a pragmatic study.
    Deixis is a word, phrase or expression whose reference can change depending on who is the
    speaker, the time, the place where the unit of language is spoken. Any linguistic form used
    to accomplish this ‘pointing’ is called a deictic expression.

    Person Deixis

    Person Deixis clearly operates on a basic three-part division. Exemplified by the pronouns for first
    person (i), secont person (you), and third person (he, she or it).

    In many languages these deictic categories of speaker, addressee, and other (s) are elaborated with
    markers of relative social status (for example, addressee with higher status versus addressee with lower
    status).

    Deictic words in person deixis are the variations of personal pronouns and objective pronouns, such
    as:I, You, We, They, She, He, It, Us, Me, Them, Him, and Her.
    Spatial Deixis Temporal Deixis
    The concept of distance already Temporal deixis is another category of
    mentioned is clearly relevant to spatial deictic expressions. It refers to an event
    deixis, where the relative location of of an utterance, which takes place any
    people and things is being indicated. time relative to the speaking time and is,
    In considering spatial deixis, however, it therefore, represented by tense, time
    is important to remember that location adverbials and sometimes by spatial
    from the speaker’s perspective can be prepositions such as in the evening, at
    fixed mentally as well as physically midnight, on time . The psycological
    speakers temporarily away from their basis of temporal deixis seems to be
    home location will often continue to use similar to that of spatial deixis. We can
    ‘here’ to mean the (physically distant) treat temporal events as objects that
    home location, as if they were still in move toward us (into view) or away
    that location. from us (out of view). In English, people
    An example would be “here” and “now” can find some examples of temporal
    in the sentence “You read this here and deixis. It can be found in the use of time
    now”. “Here” is an example of spatial signal, such as: now, soon, recently, then,
    deixis, and “now” is an example of yesterday, this year. Besides, it is usually
    temporal deixis. found in the use of tenses.
    The basic distinction presented so far for person, spatial, and
    Deixis and temporal deixis can all be seen at work in one of the most
    common structural distinctions made in english grammar-that
    Grammar between direct and indirect (or reported) speech.
    Their interpretation depends on the contexs, the speaker’s
    intention, and they express relative distance.
