SOCIAL DEIXIS
• Social Deixis is concerned with the codification of the social status of
the speaker, the addressee, or the third person or entity referred to, as
well as social relationships holding between them (see, e.g., Levinson
1983: 63, Anderson and Keenan 1985, Fillmore 1997: 111-12, Manning
2001)
• Two Types (Comrie 1976, Levinson 1983: 90-1, Brown and Levinson
1987)
1. absolute
2. relational
Major form of social deixis:
Honorifics.
• Yule (1996: 10) stated that deictic expressions which indicate higher
status are described as honorifics. The discussion of the circumstances
which lead to the choice of one of these forms rather than another is
sometimes as social deixis. (e.g. sampeyan, panjenengan)
T-V Distinction
• Social deixis is exemplified by certain uses of the so-called TV (tu/vous) pronouns in
many language. The varying usage of these pronouns indicates something about
formality, familiarity, and/or solidarity between the interactants.
• I (T form ) might be used when speaking to a friend or social equal,
• We (V form) used for speaking to a stranger or social superior.(Cruse, 2000: 321)
Categorization of social deictic information:
• Speaker and referent (e.g. referent honorifics)
• Speaker and addressee (e.g. addressee honorifics)
RELATIONAL • Speaker and bystander (e.g. by stander or audience
honorifics)
• Speaker and setting (e.g. formality levels)
• Authorized speaker:
Thai: ‘khrab’ a polite participle that can only be used by
ABSOLUTE male speakers.

• Exophoric reference refers to language outside of the text in which the reference is found.
i.g. The queen is pretty. (Location?)
• Endophoric reference refers to something inside of the text in which the reference is found.
i.g. "Susan dropped the plate. It shattered loudly"
