Summary
How the language is used in context in the study of language or linguistics is considered to be in pragmatics field. It is concerned with the interpretation of linguistic meaning in context. Deixis is clearly a form of referring to the speaker‟s context, with the most basic distinction between deictic expression being „near speaker‟ and „away from speaker‟. It is divided into several types; they are person deixis, spatial deixis and temporal deixis. When a deixis anchors to a previously metioned entity, the phenomenon is called Anaphora; when it points to entity that exists physically within the speech environment, it is called a Deictic, and when it is used to refer to a forthcoming entity, the phenomenon is called Cataphora
