CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
English is one of languages that has some similar skills with Bahasa Indonesia. When
studying English, we are supposed to learn comprehensive skills including speaking, listening,
writing, reading, and English subskills such as grammar, vocabulary, pronounciation,
punctuationetc.Especially for university students, there are several language components that
ought to be learned. One of them is deixis that has the relationship with technical words in
studying language. It describes about the specific locations, specific times or specific participants.
Deixis is the study of deictic or indexical expressions in language dialogues, prologues, and
monologue like you, now, today. Deixiscan be thought about as a special kind of grammatical
property, dealing with more familiar grammatical categories of personal, place, time. Usually it
has relationship with context of the utterance, such as who is speaking, the time or place of
speaking, the gestures of the speaker, or the current location in the discourse. As Levinson
(1983:54) statesthat deixis concern to the way in which languages and encode or grammaticalize
features of the context of utterance or speech event, and thus also concerns to ways in which the
interpretation of utterances depend on the analysis of that context of utterances. The context will
change depending upon the situation of personal, time and place because if the context is
changing, the referent will automatically be changing too.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Deixis is one of language component in English Pragmatic. Pragmatics is one of branch of
semiotic, the study about the relation of sign and its interpretation. Morris divides three branches
of semiotic, those are: syntactics (or syntax) being the “study of the formal relation of sign to one
another”, semantics is “the study of the relations of signs to the objects to which the signs are
applicableand pragmatics “the study of the relation of signs to interpreters.(Morris, 1983).It is
also has relationship with context. Levinson (1983:54) propose the essentially deixis concerns the
ways in which languages encode or grammaticalize features of the context of utterance or speech
event, and thus also concerns ways in which the interpretation of utterances depends on the
analysis of that context of utterance.According to the statement above, I as a researcher conclude
that deixis is closely related to pragmatic. But in this research, the researcher did not analyze
deixis, especially personal deixis in pragmatic way.
Deixis has wide definition. Each linguist has separate explanation about the deixis.
Deixis is a word borrowed from the Greek word for pointing or indicating, and has as
prototypical or focal exemplars the use of demonstratives, first and second person pronouns,
specific time and place adverbs like now and here, and a variety of other grammatical features
tied directly to the circumstances of utterance. (Levinson, 1983:54)
