About

Deixis is a linguistic concept and research area investigating how language expressions derive their meaning or reference from the context of utterance, particularly the speaker's identity, location, and time of speaking. It examines words and phrases (deictic expressions or indexicals) whose interpretation is relative to the deictic center, typically the speaker's "here" and "now," highlighting the fundamental context-dependence of communication and its role in establishing shared reference.
