This article discusses different considerations about the concept of deixis. According to world linguists, deixis category is one categories pragmalinguistics. Deixis plays a particularly important role in language. function linguistic unit expressed as meaning, or through lexical and grammatical means. The relation context speech situation indicates its relevance pragmatics. includes component...

Hypertext linking is akin to deixis in that each points out of the discourse to the context in which the discourse occurs. The context of a hypertext document such as a World Wide Web page is the World Wide Web itself. This study investigates some linguistic aspects of hypertext, using as data Web pages from college students and commercial enterprises. I first look at the syntactic forms of hyp...

various dimensions of the human vestibular aqueduct were evaluated in two groups, patient and control, and these measurements were compared. both groups were examined clinically, followed by audiometric evaluation and temporal bone high resolution ct scan. it was found that in approximately one third of the patient group (with idiopathic snhl), the vestibular aqueduct was 1.5 mm or larger. also...

This paper presents a new framework, “text as scene”, which lays the foundations for the annotation of two coreferential links: discourse deixis and bridging relations. The incorporation of what we call textual and contextual scenes provides more flexible annotation guidelines, broad type categories being clearly differentiated. Such a framework that is capable of dealing with discourse deixis ...

 Abstract Background: The retroauricular-temporal or Washio flap has been introduced for reconstruction of partial nose and cheek defects, and has many advantages. We decided to evaluate the extended use of this technique in order to repair full thickness nasal defects. Methods: Superficial temporal and retroauricular arteries are identified with Doppler flowmetry. Selection points A, B, C and ...

This paper examines gestural deixis production in a multimodal (natural language and pointing) interaction. Users (N=30) were required to fill in 4 forms by interacting with a simulated system. Labelling of Entry Fields (LEF, Complete-Partial; between-subject) and Feedback (Present-Absent within-subject) were manipulated in a 2*2 design. Results indicate that deixis occurred more frequently in ...

Departing from the well-known ontological parallel between pointing gesture on one hand, and linguistic deixis other, in this paper we analyse semantic pragmatic dimensions of deictic terms ‘here’ English, ‘hier’ German ‘ovdje’ Croatian. We systematize different usages these – both intra- cross-linguistically propose a reading semantics proximal element for 'linguistic spatial location', which ...
