Abstract

Deixis is a branch of pragmatics field. It needs to be learnt by the learners. By learning deixis, they will be able to use deictic words properly. Therefore, the aids used by the learners should support them in their learning activities. This research aims to investigate the deictic words which used in narrative texts in a textbook. This research also analyzed their interpretation and the contribution of the dominant deictic word used. This research was a descriptive qualitative research. The source of the data was three narrative texts which adopted from a textbook of SMP Nasima Semarang. In analyzing the texts the researcher employed the deixis theory suggested by Stephen C Levinson (1983). There are five types of deixis such as person, time, place, social and discourse deixis. The findings revealed all types of deixis are used in the texts. The total occurrences of deictic words used in among texts are 96 occurrences. The dominant deictic word used in among texts is ‘he’. It is a kind of person deixis especially third person deixis. It is because commonly narrative text is talk about retelling someone else story. In short, each type has their own roles in written or spoken languages.
