DEIXIS IN OUR DAILY LIFE




            People have their own daily activity. I have my own daily life. Everyday I produce many utterances. Every status of people has different utterances that produced by them. A student usually produces utterances so does a lecture. And the utterances that are produced by people contain of deixis. There are three deixis that usually produced by people in their daily life, these are person deixis, time deixis, and place deixis.
            In our daily life ofcourse we produce utterances to communicate with another people. Person deixis is the common utterance that is usually produced in our daily life. Mereka sudah mengumpulkan tugas hari ini. The subject mereka can be student of elementary school if the utterance is produced by a teacher of elementary school. But the subject mereka can be student of university if the utterance is stated by a lecture. Depend on who is the producer of the utterance.
            People in Madura also produce kind of deixis in their daily life. Here is another example of deixis that is stated by them. Engkok ngakan bik kok ajem berik. In this utterance there is adverb of time berik. The meaning of  berik is yesterday. Berik can be on Tuesday if the utterance is produced on Wednesday. But berik can be on Saturday if the utterance is produced on Sunday. The meaning of berik is according when is the utterance is produced.
            Place deixis also produces in people’s daily life. A student states I find my book here. The words here refers to the location where is the utterance is produced. The location of here can be in the class if the utterance produces in the class. But it can be in the restaurant if the utterance is produced in restaurant.
            I can conclude that whoever can produce deictic expression in their daily life. People in Madura can produce utterances that are containing deictic expression whether it depends on who, where and when is the utterances are produced so do another people.And deixis that can be produced are person deixis, place deixis, and time deixis.
