Deixis Expressed by Prepositions: Context-dependent Meaning in Language

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This article examines the role of deixis in prepositional usage, exploring how prepositions serve as crucial indicators of context-dependent meaning in communication. Deixis, or the linguistic function of anchoring language to the speaker’s temporal, spatial, and social context, is often conveyed through demonstratives, pronouns, and adverbs. However, prepositions also contribute significantly to deictic meaning by signaling relative spatial and temporal relationships that depend on the interlocutor’s perspective and situational context.
