<DIV>Dear All</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'd be grateful for pointers to corpus research on deictic phenomena
including any deictic category: person deixis (e.g. personal pronouns), place
deixis (reference to location, such as <EM>over there</EM>), time deixis (like
<EM>yesterday</EM> and tense), discourse deixis (reference to the discourse,
such as Joe Wilson's "You lie!"), social deixis (reference to
social relationship and role), emotional - or empathetic - deixis
(indices of personal involvement).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any hints are greatly appreciated.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
