The results show that all five types of deixis occur in the film. Among them, person deixis is the most dominant with 2,347 occurrences. It is followed by time deixis with 373 occurrences, place deixis with 294 occurrences, discourse deixis with 289 occurrences, and social deixis with 182 occurrences. The high frequency of person deixis reflects the strong emphasis on interaction between characters, where speakers frequently refer to themselves and others during communication. Meanwhile, the other types of deixis appear less frequently and mainly serve to support the context of the dialogue, such as indicating time, location, discourse relations, and social interactions.
