To analyse any text with regard to logical considerations is how one approaches the text intent and aim of the writer.

This research aims to shed light on the stylistic deployment of pragmatic ideas in literary and, more specifically, dramatic speech. This research examines the pragmatics of Tupac Shakur's poem by applying an eclectic theory based on the works of Searle (1979) and Grice (1975), as well as Cruse (2006) for deixis: the Thus, Searle's categorization of SA as realistic, expressive, directorial, commissioned, and declared is scrutinised for each poem's analysis. Grice's tenets (quality, quantity, style, and relationship) are also investigated in each piece to see how much the poet relied on and disliked them to deliver his message. Each poem's translation was examined via the lens of five different types of deixis (personal, time, place, social, and discourse). Thus, the study seeks to analyse the texts of the chosen poem through the use of pragmatic methods in order to determine the poet's style, which is how the right comprehension of the writing can be attained, as well as to determine the most common kinds of language acts a poet uses, to demonstrate how non-compliance with concepts generate stylistic impact on two levels of collaboration in Tupac the rapper Shakur's poem, and to identify types of deixis. This research needs to draw the following conclusions about communication acts: 1) speech actions that are expressive are more common compared to different types. The poet dislikes the majority of Grice's maxims, qualitative maxim being the most prominent of these. The third reason is because the poet mostly used temporal deixis. (4) Tupac Shakur, the rapper, and other lexical components in the poem only employ Grice's three maxims to express ideas and meanings indirectly.

On the Role of Generalization in the Process of Temporal Deixis Ontogenesis

This article examines the role of generalization in the process of mastering temporal deixis in preschool children. Up to a certain age, children have difficulty in the acquisition of deixis, which is due to their individual and age-related characteristics, subjective perception of time, and inability to adjust to an actual starting point when it fails to match their “I-here-now” understanding. Here, the results of an analysis of children’s statements (from our notes and the diary entries by various authors) and the experimental data from 54 children aged 4 to 7 years are discussed and summarized. A number of examples are provided that prove the key importance of generalization skills in the acquisition of temporal deixis by preschool children. Detailed investigation of children’s statements reveals that most preschool children make incorrect generalizations in the early stages of speech ontogenesis: they often use “labels” (certain general “temporal” words that do not depend on the reference point) to mark time intervals, confuse and interchange antonyms like “tomorrow” and “yesterday”, use the same temporal word to refer to all past or future events, or mix up various associative series that belong to the category of time. However, through the incorrect choice and use of deictic means, young children gradually begin to recognize the meaning and correct use of deictic units. Thus, generalization facilitates children’s ability to comprehend language and its phenomena, such as the use of temporal deixis. The obtained results may be helpful for further psycholinguistic and ontolinguistic research, for teaching special courses on psycholinguistics, and for the work of specialists in the field of preschool education and speech ontogenesis.
