everybody. Have a seat. Have a seat. Well, hello,
London. It is good to be back in the UK. Thank you,

I
also just came from touring Shakespeare’s Globe --
which is a good way to start your Saturday morning.
Today is the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s
death. And as he once wrote, “brevity is the soul of
wit,” so I will try to be brief on the front end so we
have time for a conversation.

And we see new calls for isolationism or xenophobia.
We see those who would call for rolling back the
rights of people; people hunkering down in their own
point of view and unwilling to engage in a democratic
debate. And those impulses I think we can
understand. They are reactions to changing times
and uncertainty.

Deixis is a fundamental aspect of language that involves pointing via linguistic expressions to locate subjects in various contexts such as spatial, temporal, social, and discoursal situations. It is a crucial element that reflects the relationship between language and context. Through deictic expressions and indexicals, individuals can indicate specific places, times, and persons in communication.

Deixis and Distance @trisnendri Trisnendri Syahrizal
Definition Definition @trisnendri Trisnendri Syahrizal
The word deixis is a technical term (from Greek) for one of the most basic things we do with utterances, which means pointing via language. @trisnendri Trisnendri Syahrizal
Deixis is the most obvious linguistic sign in which the relationship between language and context is reflected in the structures of languages themselves @trisnendri Trisnendri Syahrizal
The term deixis (derived from the Greek word meaning pointing or indicating) deals with the use of certain linguistic expressions to locate subjects in spatio- temporal, social and discoursal context (see Marmaridou, 2000: 65) @trisnendri Trisnendri Syahrizal
