CONCEPT OF PERSONAL DEIXIS
Abstract
Personal deixis is a linguistic concept that revolves around the encoding of personal relationships, identities, and roles within a communicative context. It is a subset of deixis, a broader linguistic phenomenon where words or expressions rely on context for their interpretation. In the case of personal deixis, language users employ specific linguistic elements to refer to themselves, the addressee, or other individuals participating in the communication act. This concept is integral to understanding how language reflects and shapes social dynamics, as it provides insights into the intricacies of interpersonal relationships embedded in linguistic expressions.
