You are a very technical but very clear and effective linguist, just how to deal with deixeis with no link to anaphora - most notably with TH- determiners...(?)

[@nigyarababajanova3460]

Thank you very much!

[@ExplosiveFilms2007]

Thanks for this lecture! Deixis is a highly intruiging topic.
The only problem I have with this overview occurs at 9:25. I'd argue that "this afternoon" typically refers to a timepoint after the utterance time u.

[@nikitamahe9492]

What are the three basic systems of the semantic parameters of distance for space deixis?

[@atiyaaftab4944]

Can you give, another example for the third sentence of time deixis (tense)
John had written a letter.
Can you explain the reference R, i'm still a little confused about it.

[@faraghatv6900]

Thanks so much

[@h.n.7239]

For example ''I will be there at 8.00'' ''there'' is place deixis but can we say that ''at 8.00'' is time deixis?

[@linguist7713]

thank you so much professor!!!

[@ngochongnguyen3379]

From 11.45 , in utterance 3 " John had written a letter when Linda arrived "; i was confused when you said " Linda wrote the letter " so many times.

[@s.a.6307]

Hi prof. I am from Indonesia and I'm currently taking my master degree on linguistic. And I am planning to write my thesis about comparative study about diexis between my local language (tae language in indonesia) and in english

[@goktugdonk5055]

how did it go? I mean thesis

[@Yazenfares1809]

Hello I need your help in my dessertation in pragmatics concerning deixis in second language acquisition if possible please

[@TamseelaMAenglish]

Sir kindly make sure that myself , yourself,themselves , herself and himself may be used as person deixis.

[@SabaEnayati]

thank u so much,it was very helpful. I have a question about person deixis. some linguists did not take the 3d person (she/he) as real deixis. eg Lyons calls them impure deixis. may I know your opinion?

[@vdeomh7031]

what a person deixis is

[@MissBeatnik89]

I do have a question on time deixis (tense). Why can u precede e in example b) (John is writing the letter)? (10: 52)
Could anyone explain that to me, please?

[@Tan.ja09]

I know this is really late, but I will still answer. maybe I can help somebody else :)
"Is writing" is not only the present progressive form, but can also be used as a means of refering to the future, similar to the going-to-future. in this case the sentence would mean that he is going to write the letter (in the next hour).

[@katjatissarj1086]

+Tanja K likewise ref to ocvouring event wherein taken place ...proceeding? ... midnight runners :');

[@SabaEnayati]

Prof. Handke, in your very first example you took "this" as discourse deictic, why not place deictic?

[@lurex8957]

Because he is referring to the paper that he's holding not a place or a location

[@SabaEnayati]

@@lurex8957 that is the location. discourse deictic is text deictic in definition

[@enung26]

thanks sir!!

Excuse me sir, i want to ask about theory of person reference used in Michael Ewing's research similar to the deixis person reference?

[@julia-hj8rb]

Is That usefull?

[@arfancheema3587]

informative

[@mohammadalangca8368]

2020!

[@edervalladares4473]

it´s "aqui", "allí" and "allá"

[@kariraszka]

Actually, in Spain it's "aqui", "ahí" and "allí", I think the distinction you stated is used in Latin America.

[@japsuy]

not necessarily, it depends on the region. Also, "allí" is closer than "allá". One important thing is that in Spanish letter H is silent at all times, except when preceded by C, so the pronunciation of "ahí" is /a'i/

[@katjatissarj1086]

...it took a lil longer to connect the points... as "is Dexter ilL? is dexter ilL?" 'no mr blah blah. dexter is in school' sample mix entertain long as packed the tune is...
