What is "deictic"?
Deictic refers to words or expressions that rely on context to convey meaning, often pointing to specific elements in communication such as people, places, or times. These words change meaning based on the situation in which they are used. For example, in the sentence "I will go there tomorrow," the words "I," "there," and "tomorrow" are deictic because their meanings depend on the speaker's identity, location, and the specific time of the conversation. Deictic expressions are important in understanding how language relates to context and reference.
