Abstract

This article is about the role of deixis in linguistics, emphasizing its relevance in intertextual expression and the structure of discourse. Deixis focuses on the speaker’s position in time and space, anchoring communication to a specific context and shaping how meaning is conveyed and interpreted. The text highlights the relationship between social deixis and text, which encompasses communication between speakers or writers and their audiences, stressing the dynamic, context-dependent nature of language.
