Abstract
In this article, author considered the potentialities of deictic expressions in making intersubjectivity possible and also spiral of indexicality and reflexivity with the latter as a link between retention and protention ( the intentional act directed to the future) or analepsis (the evoking of the past in the present.) and prolepsis (evoking the future in the present ) which are different modes of consciousness or Vygotsky's self and act as a way to raise expectations, suspense and capture attention. By this, author, through the correspondence between these potentialities inherent in deictic expressions, proposes the construction of deictic field as a context or ground of ecological validity for designing authentic learning task and environment which can weave the cognitive flexibility of the learners in developing multiple representations, multiple selves, and multiple realities.
