Abstract

From the classic discussions about the studies of human language to the context of the concept of Referencing in Text Linguistics, the function of “pointing” conferred to the deictics raises investigations about what in fact deixis is. We aim to discuss definitions of deixis within the scope of human language studies, consigning it to the dynamics of communication and the actors’ pretensions. In this attempt, from a bibliographical research, we focus on works based on the concept of Referencing cognitive and sociodiscursive process, from which we highlight the contributions of authors, such as: Cavalcante (2000, 2012), Cruz (2011), Fiorin (2011), Ciulla and Martins (2017) Ciulla (2018), Leal (2015), among other authors, who resume, discuss and deepen notions about deixis. The research has revealed that the relationship of deixs or deixis function is established in and by the dynamics of the interaction. We hope to contribute to the expansion and understanding of the notions that define deixis in contemporary language studies.
