4.Deixis 指示语 is a technical term (from Greek) for one of the most basic things we do with utterances. It means ‘pointing’ via language. Any linguistic form used to accomplish this ‘pointing’ is called a deictic expression. Deictic expressions are also sometimes called indexicals. They are among the first forms to be spoken by very young children and can be used to indicate people via person deixis (such as, ‘me’, ‘you’), or location via spatial deixis (such as ‘here’, ‘there’), or time via temporal deixis (such as ‘now’, ‘then’).
5.Proximal terms近指 are typically interpreted in terms of the speaker’s location, or the deictic center指示中心. ‘this’, ‘there’, ‘now’, ‘then’ near speaker
6.Distal terms远指can simply indicate ‘away’ from speaker’, but, in some languages, can be used to distinguish between ‘near addressee’ and ‘away from both speaker and addressee’.
7.Person deixis人称指示语clearly operates on a basic three-part division, exemplified例证 by the pronouns for first person, second person, and third person./ forms used to point to people, “me””you”
8.Expressions which indicate addressee higher statusenable的名词形式 are described as honorifics敬语.
9.The discussion of the circumstances which lead to the choice of one of these forms rather than another is sometimes described as social deixis./forms used to indicate relative social status
10.A distinction between forms used for familiar versus a non-familiar addressee in some languages. This is known as the T/V distinction.
用复数形态来表示单数敬语，在语言中叫 T-V distinction。此概念由 1960 年的学者 Brown 和 Gilman 提出，他们将第二人称单数分为两种形态：T 形态（T-form）和 V 形态（V-form），前者在非正式场合、尊称呼卑、关系亲密的人之间使用，后者在正式场合、下级称呼上级、称呼陌生人的时候使用
11.exclusive ‘we’ (speaker plus other(s), excluding addressee)；
inclusive ‘we’ (speaker and addressee included).
12.spatial deixis空间指示语- the relative location of people and things is being indicated. Eg, here, there/ forms used to point to location.
13.‘Yonder’那边 (more distant from speaker)
‘hither’这边 (to this place)
‘thence’从那里 (from that place)
14.deictic projection指示投射 manipulate speaker’s location eg: I am not here now./speakers acting as if they are somewhere else.
15.psychological distance 心理距离I don’t like that. it is ‘invested’ with meaning in a context by a speaker./speaker’s marking of how close or distant something is perceived感知 to be.
16.temporal deixis 时间指示 Back in an hour. the coming week./ forms used to point to location in time
17.It is clear that the present tense is the proximal form近端形式 and the past tense is the distal form远端形式. if-clauses
18.In temporal deixis, the remote or distal form can be used to communicate not only distant from current time, but also distant from current reality or facts.
19.Discourse deixis/ textual deixis语篇指示语 “the use of expressions within some utterance to refer to some portion部分 of the discourse that contains that utterance (including the utterance itself)” This is what he did to me. He ripped撕扯 my shirt and hit me on the nose
20.We might best think of reference as an act in which a speaker, or writer, uses linguistic forms to enable a listener, or reader, to identify something.
21.Reference, then, is clearly tied to the speaker’s goals (for example, to identify something) and the speaker’s beliefs (i.e. can the listener be expected to know that particular something?) in the use of language.
22.Those linguistic forms are referring expressions所指词语, linguistic form which enables a listener, or reader, to identify something. which can be proper nouns专有名词 (for example, Shakespear’, Cathy Revuelto’, ‘Hawaii’), noun phrases 名词短语which are definite (for example, ‘the author’, ‘the singer’, ‘the island’), or indefinite (for example, ‘a man’, ‘a woman’, ‘a beautiful place’), and pronouns代词 (for example, ‘he’, ‘her’, ‘it’ , ‘them’ ).
