This research explores the use of deixis in the film Orion and the Dark. It aims to identify the types of deixis employed in the film and determine which category appears most frequently. The study is based on Levinson’s framework, which classifies deixis into five categories: person, place, time, discourse, and social deixis. A descriptive qualitative method was used in conducting this study. The data were collected by watching the film, closely examining the dialogues, identifying expressions containing deixis, grouping them according to Levinson’s theory, and interpreting the data descriptively. 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. In conclusion, deixis plays an essential role in shaping meaning and helping viewers interpret context, participants, and situational references within the film.

This study aims to analyze the types and functions of deictic expressions found in the English chorus of the song “Bright as the Sun”, the official song of the 2018 Asian Games. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method to examine how meaning is constructed through the use of deictic expressions in the lyrics. The analysis focuses on identifying, classifying, and interpreting deictic elements by considering both their lexical meaning and their contextual use. The data were taken from the English chorus and analyzed through several steps, including close reading, identification of relevant expressions, and classification into types of deixis. The findings show that the lyrics contain five types of deixis: person, spatial, temporal, discourse, and social deixis, although they appear with varying frequency and function. Person deixis is the most dominant type, mainly through the use of pronouns such as you, your, and we. These expressions function to directly address the listeners and create a sense of personal involvement. Spatial deixis is reflected in expressions that refer to a broader or global context, while temporal meaning is conveyed implicitly through phrases that suggest urgency and present action. Discourse and social deixis are also present, although they appear less explicitly in the lyrics. Overall, the findings indicate that deictic expressions play an important role in shaping meaning and strengthening the motivational message of the song. The use of deixis helps create a closer connection between the lyrics and the listeners, reinforcing themes of unity, encouragement, and collective identity.

This study analyzes the function of deixis in building emotional relationships between characters in the short film "Seutas Kenangan" using a sociopragmatic approach.

This study aims to examine the use of deixis in the film Habibie and Ainun (2012) through a pragmatic approach and to explore its implications for character education. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method by analyzing utterances containing personal, spatial, temporal, discourse, and social deixis in the main characters’ dialogues. The data were obtained through transcription and contextual interpretation to uncover the pragmatic meanings embedded in the linguistic expressions. The findings reveal that deixis functions not only as a linguistic reference marker but also as a medium for expressing and reinforcing character values such as loyalty, responsibility, perseverance, and love. The contextual use of language in the film reflects the process of moral formation and emotional depth, demonstrating how language contributes to shaping character development. This study contributes to the development of Indonesian language learning by emphasizing the integration of pragmatic analysis and character education through film media. Therefore, it is recommended that language educators utilize educational films containing pragmatic elements as effective learning resources to enhance both linguistic competence and moral awareness among students.
