Abstract
Based on the assumption that understanding is a goal-directed abstract movement the paper argues that the process of understanding shares some deictic characteristics: it is relative to a reference point, the so-called deictic centre. We claim that understanding is projected at and determined by the intersection of the spatiotemporal, social and axiological dimensions which have as their reference points the truth, the participants of the communication process, as well as the generally accepted norms and standards.
