What is "spatial deixis"?
Spatial deixis is a linguistic concept that involves words and phrases that indicate the location of entities in relation to the speaker or listener. It includes terms such as "here," "there," "above," and "below," which help specify where something is situated. For example, in the sentence "The book is over there," the word "there" points to a location that is not near the speaker.

By using these expressions, speakers can effectively communicate about distances and locations, enhancing clarity in interactions.
