Abstract
ABSTRACT
A study of language means to know how to produce and to understand sentences and utterances with particular meaning. However, it does not only mean that the speaker intends to communicate through producing a particular utterance, but also the context of the utterances is very important to understand the encoding of the relationship of the speakers to the world around them. In all languages, the reference of many words and expressions relies entirely on the context. To know the context of the written language in the discourse, researcher has to determine the speakers who produce the utterances and the speaker’s or writer’s position in space and time.
This research was conducted by using descriptive qualitative method because the data of this study are in the forms of sentences or words of “Sport” section of The Jakarta Post published from 11 to 23 November 2011 about 26th Sea Games in Indonesia based on Anderson and Keenan’s theory. The reason why researcher chooses this topic is because The Jakarta Post is a newspaper written in English. Therefore, it can be easy and effective to be the object of research, especially to analyze the using of deixis.
The result of the study shows that there are three kinds of deixis in sport sections of The Jakarta Post. Firstly, person deixis that becomes center deixis of the utterances. Person deixis consists of first person, second person, and third person singular and plural. Second, spatial deixis is used to describe a location related to the location of participant in speech event, as well as have been shown in the context. Third, temporal deixis is used to point the certain period of time when journalist shows the utterances spoken by the speaker and also the time of an event. Finally, the researcher suggests the next researchers to make more complete analysis on the same field because every literary work has its own uniqueness.
