Um estudo sobre classificações de tipos dêiticos

Abstract

Regarding deixis, there are many works, since that is an extremely relevant subject, both for reference studies and for text studies. There are also several different classifications of deictic types. Therefore, in this work, we investigate two different proposals for the classification of deictic types, identifying the criteria from which they depart. Our objective, in the master degree’s research in which this article is inserted, is to verify the possibility of a framework of deictic types, according to homogeneous classification criteria. However, this is a starting point in order to recognize the studies in the area. We identify two main criteria that, in most of the works, guide both the definition of deixis as to a classification in deictic types, which are subjectivity and ostensivity. However, one of the problems is that some types overlap or do not strictly follow those criteria. Thus, we emphasize the need for a deepening reflection, to continue this study, opening perspectives to lay more solid bases for a comprehensive classification
