Abstract

The concept of social deixis and its definition are stated by different scholars. Among these some are stated in this article in order to introduce the concept of social deixis to the reader. In the language, social deixis is expressed by both relational and absolute deictic terms.Relationaldeictic terms: age, marriage, circumcision status, and kinship are important constituents to show social deixis in the language.In Hadiyya, absolute deictic terms:office-related respect and mahaaraano ‘people who have socio-cultural respect’are also used to show social deixis.
