Dêixis e pragmática: um estudo da linguagem em contexto

Abstract

The work “Deixis and pragmatics: a language study in context” aims to verify the deictic phenomena in a pragmatic perspective. First, we define deixis and approach general concepts of referential processes. After, according to Levinson (2007), Fillmore (1971) and Cavalcante (2000, 2001, 2005 and 2008), we present the Deixis typology and its functions. In conclusion, there is an analysis in which we verify the cases of temporal and spatial deictics which have a hybrid character (point and return) and, in particular, the events in which the deictic element, although not mentioned by an expression marked in the linguistic utterance, is recovered through a process of cooperation between the participants in the communicative situation.
