Primes¶
- Deixis
- Deixis is the property of certain linguistic expressions whose reference is fixed only by the context of utterance: (1) the reference depends on who is speaking (personal deixis: I, you, we), where (spatial deixis: here, there, this, that), when (temporal deixis: now, yesterday, tomorrow), what discourse (discourse deixis: this argument, the above), and what social role (social deixis: your Honor, Mr./Ms., T/V pronouns);
This sourceSystematic survey of the deictic categories (person, place, time, social, discourse) and their grounding in indexical reference; also covers software/UI deixis (logged-in user, geolocation, system time).
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract lists sections on indexicality and 'The Fields of Deixis', supporting the chapter's survey of deictic categories but not the claim's specific definition or five-way list.
“This chapter contains sections titled: Indexicality in Communication and Thought The Challenge of Indexicality Deictic Expressions in Semantic Theory The Role of Pragmatics in the Resolution of Deictic Expressions: a Close Look at Demonstrative Systems The Fields of Deixis Conclusion Notes”

- Indexicality
- Levinson (2004) treats deixis as the systematic study of these context-dependent expressions and grounds them squarely in the broader category of indexical reference.

The publisher abstract is only the chapter's section list, which links deixis to indexicality but does not state the chapter's own wording.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
