Buhler(1934), Fillmore(1971a) say that
the origin of "dixis" is
originated from the Greek expression "deixis" meaning “demonstrative.” (1)
is deixis expression.(1) this, that, I, you, here, there, now, then, Present, Past, Future
These can not be fully
to understand understood without additional contextual information. There are 4 kinds of deixis
: “person deixis, place deixis, time deixis and “historical present” and social deixis. Person deixis are "I", "we", "he", "she" and "it". Place deixis are "this", "that", "here" and "there". Time deixis are "now", "then", "Present" and "Past". “Historical present” and social deixis are "Mommy", "my daughter". Furthermore
, deixis has two types of expression techniques. First is outside world instruction. This is a way of instruction of a scene
like such as (1). Second is context instruction. This is a way of instruction of a context
like such as “this” (2).
