ABSTRACT  

This simple research is more focused on   interactional oral discourse . This research was conducted to find external text elements . Research subjects taken from searching internet,

“A conversation between a doctor and patient with her brother about how to quit smoking”  .

The approach used in this simple research   is  Ethno methodology approach . Data was  obtained in the form short conversation between to people . While the research instrument used were “internet website”. After getting  data, they were directly to find the  content of the conversational text and finally  the external elements of   deixis was obtained . Taken from book “pragmatics” by Stephen C. Levinson(1983;54) , Lyona,(1772:589ff) says; The  fact of deixis  should act as  a constant reminder to theoretical linguist of simple but immensely important fact that natural language  are primarily designed. So to speak, for use  in face to face  interaction , and thus there are limits to the extent  to which they can be analyzed  without taking this into account. It mean that  the concept of deixis to language spoken for performance is very important. And analysis conversation  on deixsis is needed to explore the understanding of language.

Key words : pragmatics, text, deixis, external element

A.    INTRODUCTION

Language is very important in human’s life. With out language , one can’t communicate properly. Languages are not just  sets of symbols. They also often conform to a rough grammar, or system of rules, used to manipulate the symbols. While sets of symbols is used for expression or communication because there are no clear or regular relationships its symbols to express clear and regular relationships between them. Donoghue (1975: 5) states that language is an instrument of social power. It influences beliefs, attitudes, and behavior. It may even be used, in its extreme form, to control and manipulate thought.

By using a language, people can communicate for many purposes.  The use of language as a means of communication is the natural phenomena which occurs in a human community. In a community, language is spoken contextually under circumstances. In a language field, the study of contextual meaning is called pragmatics. Pragmatics is one of the linguistic branches which concerns with the study of meaning as communicated by a speaker (or writer) and interpreted by a listener (or reader). It has, consequently, more to do with the analysis of what people mean by their utterances than what the words or phrases in those utterances might mean by themselves. In other words, pragmatics is also the study of speaker meaning (Yule, 1996:3).Yule (1996) also states that one traditional distinction in language analysis contrast syntax and semantics.  While Pragmatics is the study of the relationships between linguistic forms and the users(speaker and hearer).

In this mini research , conversation  between  doctor and patient not be analyzed bye semantics but it will be aroused more deeply by pragmatically. One of the phenomena which is interesting to study is the external elements of  deixis, suc as; person deixis, place deixis, time deixis, discourse deixis and social deixis) in a conversation between doctor and patient.There are some problems identified from the conversation between doctor and patient that the writer arouses in this research such as;  (a) Do They speak using some external elements in this case is deixis?; and (b) What types of deixis they use in their conversation?.

B.     BACKGROUND

 Spoken  and  written  language  sometimes  can  be  ambiguous  to  a  hearer  or  an

addressee. People might misinterpret what a speaker says. Such case is  often related  with deixis.  The  use  of  reference  in  an  utterance  that  is  not  clear  or lacking of description  often makes  a hearer confused or even not understand. Why?.  Unclear  reference  can  cause  the  utterance  delivered  by  the speaker ambiguous. In English there are finite and infinite nouns  that both can serve as references. Sometimes ,it is easy to understand a context of discourse if the reference is clear, but sometimes it is difficult to comprehend because of the lack of description in the reference. A hearer occasionally is not familiar with expression used by a speaker.  Moreover, sometimes the speaker has considered   that   the   hearer   has   enough   knowledge   background   and reference  about  what is talked about, then it makes the language uttered more difficult to understand. So in this  mini research  I am going to analyze how important the  deixis  to  language  spoken in conversation.

Deixis also seems critical for our ability to learn a language. Despite this theoretical importance, the subject is – as far as empirical investigations go – one of the most understudied core areas of pragmatics, and we are far from understanding the boundaries of the phenomena, and have no adequate cross-linguistic typology of most kinds of deictic expression. (Bühler 1934 and Peirce 1955) ;and have become associated with linguistic and philosophical approaches respectively. But I will make this distinction: indexicality will be used to label the broader phenomena of contextual dependency, and deixis the narrower linguistically-relevant aspects of indexicality.

            Linguists have argued similarly, that deixis is the source of reference, i.e. deictic reference is ontogenetically primary to other kinds (Lyons 1975). But the actual facts concerning the acquisition of deictic expressions paint a different picture, for the acquisition of many aspects of deixis is quite delayed (Tanz 1980, Wales 1986), and even though demonstratives figure early, they are often not used correctly (see Clark 1978). This is hardly surprising because, from the infant’s point of view, deixis is as confusing as a hall of mirrors: my “I” is your “you”, my “this” is your “that”, my “here”, your “there”, and so forth . The demonstratives aren’t used correctly in

English till well after the pronouns “I” and “You”, or indeed till after deictic “in front of”/ “in back of”, that is not till about 4 (Tanz 1980:145). there’s another reason that deixis in language isn’t as simple but  something much more complex : on the one hand symbolic reference is relativized to time, place, speaker, and so on, so that a sentence like “John will speak next” is true now, not later, and on the other indexical reference is mediated by symbolic meaning.

The problem of using  conversation that  the speakers and hearers often  get miscommunication about the meaning of word related the context of situation around the circumstances event..If deixis is  organized in an egocentric way, we think  of deictic expression as anchored to specific point in communication event. How  it can help to the speakers and hearer to visualize this unmarked deictic centre as as person deixes, spatial deixis, temporal deixis, discourse deixis and social diexis.

Because of that reason above  the object of my mini research focuses  on analyzing  language utterance  in conversation between doctor and patient with her brother about how to quit smoking by means deixis.

The statement of the problem is:

1.       “  Whether there are external text element of deixis or not  be found in conversational between doctor and patient with her  brother about how to quit smoking.

2.      Whether there is types of deixis they use in their conversation between doctor and patient with her brother about how to quit smoking

The purpose of this  mini research is to  determine that  is there  5 element of deixis , what type of deixis they use in conversation between doctor and patient with  her brother about how to quit smoking.

 the significance on the study, that for the leaner’s, deixis  could be one of the alternative way to investigate a language. we think  of deictic expression as anchored to specific points in the communication event then the unmarked anchorage points, constituting the deictic centre, are typically assumed to be as follow that central person,  central time, central place,  central  discourse, and the social centre  For usage the language is reduce ambiguity and   misunderstanding communication  with  each other between  speakers and hearers.           

C.     REVIEW  OF THE LETURATURE

1.      Review of the theatrical background

Difinition

Discourse analysis is more interesting in how the sentences in a text are organized, how they relate to one another. Understanding a text, there are some linguists give the definition differently. Nuttall (1996:24) states that a text is a piece of language, complete in itself and written (or spoken) for a purpose. It could consists of a single sentence or even a single word, such as a sign saying DANGER! Text is the main body of printed words in a book as opposed to the notes and illustrations, etc. Lyons (1996:263) states simply that a text is a sequence of sentences. Whereas, Mulyana, 2005:1) cited by Zubaidah (Jurnal  Bahtera no. 9, 2006:23) states that text is a very complete and complex language element. To write a good text, a writer should know how to organize the structure and content what they want to write.

Naturally, there is a great deal of interest in the structure of discourse, with particular attention being paid to what makes a well-formed text. Within this structural perspective, the focus is on topics such as the explicit connections between sentences in a text that create cohesion, or on elements of textual organization that are characteristic of storytelling, for example, as distinct from opinion expressing and other text types (Yule, 1996: 84). Yule also states that within the study of discourse, the pragmatic perspective is ore specialized. It tends to focus specifically on aspects of what is unsaid or unwritten (yet communicated) within the discourse being analyzed. External elements of text are to be parts of a text, but it is not stated explicitly, Brown and Yule (1983:28-34). From the statements above that in analyzing a discourse or a text, the pragmatic perspective is more specialized.

Understanding the definition of deixis , many linguists have presented the definition of deixis variously.  Jaszczolt (2002: 191) states that ‘deixis’ derives from Ancient Greek which means ‘to show’, ‘to point out. Deixis is the phenomenon of encoding contextual information by means of lexical items of grammatical distinctions that provide this information only when paired with this context. In other words, it means lexicalizing or grammaticalyzing  contextual information, that is making it into obligatory grammatical or lexical distinctions. They give instructions to the addressee that context has to be consulted in order to grasp the meaning of the utterance. Fromkin in her book “An Introduction to Language (1998: 199) says that in all languages there are many words and expressions whose reference relies entirely on the situational context of the utterance and can only be understood in light of these circumstances. This aspect of pragmatics is called deixis . First and second person pronouns such as; my, mine, you, your, yours, we, ours, and us are always deictic because their reference is entirely dependent on context. You must know who the speaker and listener are in order to interpret them.

Meanwhile, Yule (1996:9) states that deixis is a technical term (from Greek) for one of the most basic things we do with utterances. It meas ‘pointing’ is called a deictic expression. Hurford (1984:63) also states that a deictic word is one which takes some element of its meaning from the situation (i.e. the speaker, the addressee, the time and the place) of the utterance in which it is used. Furthermore, Jack Richards, et.al (1985:75) states in their book “Longman Dictionary of Applied Linguistics” that deixis is a term for a word or phrase which directly relates an utterance to a time, place, or person(s).

Since deictic expressions only require meaning when interpreted by the hearer, they belong to the domain of pragmatics. However, since the resolution of their meaning is necessary in order to know the meaning of the proposition and its truth conditions, then at the same time they are in the domain of semantics. In other words, in the case of deictic expressions, the pragmatic processes of reference resolution intrude into the semantics. Geneally, deictic expressions are slots, place-holders for referring expressions, which in turn are provided by the context, that is by the situation, previous discourse, pointing and so forth.

In pragmatics and linguistics, deixis is a process where words or expressions rely absolutely on context. A word that depends on deictic clues is called a deictic or a deictic word. Pro-forms are generally considered to be deictics, but a finer distinction is often made between personal pro-forms such as I, you , and it (commonly referred to as personal pronouns) and pro-forms that refer to places and times such as now, then, here, there . In most texts, the word deictic implies the latter but not necessarily the former.

It is common for languages to show at least a two-way referential distinction in their deictic system: proximal, i.e. near or closer to the speaker, and distal, i.e. far from the speaker and/or closer to the addressee. English exemplifies this with such pairs as this and that, here and there, etc. in other languages the distinction is three-way: proximal, i.e. near the speaker, medial, i.e. near the addressee, and distal, i.e. far from both.t is clear that the meaning of utterance in deictic expression can be interpreted through context and we must know who the speaker and listener are being interpreted by certain situation. 

Types of Deixis

Deictic expressions are also sometimes called indexicals or indexical expressions but  some philosophers confine the term ‘indexical’ only to pronouns ‘I’ and ‘you’ and adverbs ‘here’ and ‘now because their role in a sentence is constant.  According to Jaszczolt,  Deixis has been  classified in the literature as (1) person deixis; (2) place deixis; (3) time deixis; (4) discourse deixis; and (5) social deixis. Those types of deixis are discussed as follows:

a.       Person deixis

Person deixis encodes the role of participants in the speech event, such as speaker, addressee, other entities. Person deixis is encoded in pronouns: ‘I’ for the speaker, ‘you’ for the addressee, ‘he’, ‘she’, ‘it’, ‘we’, ‘they’, for others. Pronoun system different from language to language: different information is grammaticalized.  Person deixis can be grasped only when we understand the roles of the speaker, source of the utterance, recipient, the target of the utterance, and hearers who are not addressees or targets. Only then can we successfully replace the pronoun and adjectives as in the examples; (a)   Give me your hand..(b)   I give him my hand. 

b.       Place deixis

Place deixis encodes spatial locations relative to the interlocutors. Here we allocate demonstratives – proximal and distal in English, and adverbs of place: ‘here’ and ‘there’. Place deixis specifies the location relative to the speaker and the addressee as in ‘ten meters further’, ‘ten miles east of here’, ‘here’, ‘there’.  ‘Here’ as the unit of space the includes the place the location of the speakers at the time of the utterance or a location proximal to the speaker’s location at the time of the utterance the place pointed at if the use of ‘here’ is gestural.  In some cultures, demonstratives can be distinguished on principles other than distance from the speaker. Place deixis can also be used for time as in an example (a). 

(a)   I live ten minutes from here. 

Place deixis presupposes time deixis: the locations are specified with respect to the time of utterance.

It is not always easy to decide whether the use of an expression is deictic or non-deictic. For example, in (b), the tree can be at the back of the car or hidden from view by the car. 

(b)   The tree is behind the car. 

Similarly, in an example (c), the boy can be placed to Tom’s left or to the left of Tom from the speaker’s point of reference. 

(c)   The boy is to the left of Tom. 

 c.     Time deixis

Time deixis encodes temporal units relative to the time of the utterance. Here we

    distinguish coding time (time of utterance) and receiving time (time of the recovery of the information by the hearer). Tense markers and adverbs of time (‘now’, ‘tomorrow’, ‘next year’) also belong to this category. Time deixis is also oriented towards the in  discourse. ‘Now’ means the time at which the speaker is producing the utterance. It is the coding time, different from the receiving time, although in practice the events of coding and receiving are , with an allowed approximation, co-temporal. The deictic centre can be projected on to the addressee as in an example below. ‘Now’ refers to the time at which the addressee learns the truth, which follows the time at which the author of the letter coded the message. For example:; You know the whole truth now. I knew it a week ago, so I wrote this letter. 

d.    Discourse deixis

  Discourse deixis encodes reference to portion of discourse. Discourse deixis is not  one of the basic deictic categories. By means of this device we can rever to portions of discourse, as in ‘in the last paragraph’, ‘this story’, sentence-initial ‘therefore’, ‘in conclusion’, ‘anyway’, ‘all in all’, where the reference is relative to the utterance.       Discourse deixis is deictic reference to a portion of a discourse relative to the speaker’s current “location” in the discourse. Example, the use of this to refer to a story one is about to tell in:

(a)   I bet you haven’t heard this story.   (Levisnon 1983:63)

            Another example of discourse deixis is:

(b)   I keep my car in the garage but my next-door neighbor keeps it in is drive. 

  We call this usage of ‘it’ discourse-deictic. C. Lyons (1999:28) calls this an example of an identify of sense anaphora. Discourse deixis also encodes reference to portion of discourse as in (c).

(c)   I am hungry – that is what I said. 

 e.   Social deixis

Social deixis encodes social relationships and other social distinctions. Social deixis concerns social relationships between participants, their status and relations to the topic of discourse. Relationships that are relevant in their type of deixis include these between the speaker and the addressee, between other participants, the speaker and the object spoken about and soon. Devices used for the purpose of this deixis include varying forms of address, pronouns of politeness, kinship terms and honorifics, in particular addressee and referent honorifics.   

Social deixis is the use of different deicitics to express social distinctions. An example is difference between formal and polite pro-forms. Relational social deixis is where the form of word used indicates the relative social status of the addressor and the addressee. For example, one pro-form might be used to address those of higher social rank, another to address those of less or social rank, another to address those of the same social rank. By contrast, absolute social deixis indicates a social standing irrespective of the social standing of the speaker.

From the five types of deixis above, some linguists (Charles Fillmore, Stephen Levinson), in Jaszczolt, analyze all five types of deixis as instances of the same phenomenon. But discourse and social deixis seem to differ from the three basic categories of person, place and time deixis . They grammaticalize or lexicalize certain distinctions relative to context, but may not need context for interpreting them.

2.      The theoretical frame work

In this mini research  reviews some theories on conversation analysis which consists of the external elements of a text in a language. It has been divided into three sections:   Definition of Text, Understanding of a Deixis, and types of Deixes.

 Now days the leaner’s linguist or usage language are want to explore of language expression something(  point to a situation outside a text) .and doing pragmatics investigation in conversation by deixis.  Discourse deixis is an expression that has its reference within the discourse or text. The external text element  such as, person deixis, partial diexis, temporal deixis, discourse deixis and social deixis can be used to refer to a forthcoming portion of the discourse. Searle, Kiefer & Bierwisch (1980: viii) suggest that “pragmatics is one of those words that give the impression that something quite specific and the technical is being talked about when often in fact it has no clear meaning.

D.    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

1.      Research Design

The method used in this paper is qualitative .Descriptive research method which emphasizes on ethnomethodology in which the link between a group’s everyday activities and its social structure (Gay, 2000:202). This research is to describe and interpret the exact data based on the phenomena the researcher found in conversation between doctor and patient with her brother  about how to quit smoking.

2.      Data and sourse of data

The data is taken from Google's cache of http://bac-tunisia.forumactif.com/t2-a-conversation-between-a-doctor-and-a-patient-with-her-brother-about-how-to-quit-smoking. It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on 25 Jun 2013 04:17:53 GMT.

3.       Technique of data collection

The research data was gained  by searching in internet

4.      Instrumen of data collection

The instrument used in this  mini  research is observation and identifying  the words to analyze  an text “ in conversation between doctor and patient with her brother about  how to quit smoking” by means diexis

5.      Technique of  data analysis

The whole data is analyzed based on deixis analysis  to found  the external text element of diexis which appear on conversation between doctor and patient with her brother about how to quit smoking text .

E.     RESEARCH FINDING

      To answer this mini research  the  data collecting was  found from internet searching. After  investigating the conversation text was found five external element of a conversation  text, in:

1.      Social deixis

Based on the social theory  in codes social relationship and other social relationship between participant (the speaker and the addressee). Device which is used  for the purpose of  deixis to varying  form of address, pronoun of politeness term. Pronoun deixis which appeared  from the conversation  as follows:

1.      a.   Doctor             : Hi miss Jane, Please sit down.

b.      Patient             : Good morning doctor

The  word “miss”(a) to indicate that the speaker addresses to the addressor politely

                   term. And the word “doctor”(b)  is culturally  used to respect profession term.

     

2.      Person deixis

Below is person deixis  which appear in conversation

1.      c.   Doctor : So you suffer for smoking and you can stop it.

d.      Patient : Yea, I become addicted, I started smoking since I was 16

The word “you”  referred  to the pronouns of the second person  as  the  addressee while the word “ I “  referred to the pronouns of the first person as the speaker. “ I “ and “you” are both referred to the patient

2.      f.  Brother : I advised her to quit it when she just stated, but I could not convince her.

The word “ I “ is  the pronoun of the first person, referred to patient’s brother and  the word “her” is the pronoun of the Third person, referred to the patient.( brother’s sisiter.

3.      g.  Doctor  :  Well, it is okay. Jane, I advice you to practice much more sports , relax

                     half  hour every day in the morning .You better have to take care of

                     meals , try to eat many type of natural fruits , drink fresh water and of

                     course don’t forgot the orange juice for his healthy consequences

The word “ I “ here was a speaker referred to the doctor. “I” was the pronoun   of the first person . the word “ You” was referred to the patient .  “you” is the  pronoun of the second person. While the word” Jane”  is the  pronoun of the second person. “ Although “ Jane”  referred to addressee. The doctor called “Jane” because Jane and the doctor have good relationship

4.      h. Brother  : She tried to do that, but nothing better

The word “she” is the pronoun of the third person. “she” here, referred to brother’s sister who couldn’t stop smoking.

5.      j.  Doctor   :  Oh my God!, what is your favorite  hobby?

The word “ my” in my God and “ your “ is your favorite were  the same  possessive pronouns but difference function. “my” was the first person . “oh my God”. Its means the doctor surprised and greeted  to God name because  knew that her patient have tried hard but  fail while your favorite meant what the doctor want to know from the patient (jane) about favorite of jane. “your” possessive pronoun for addressee

6.      m. Okay doctor, thanks for your time, I will be back after 2 months

The word” your ” was possessive pronounce. Thanks for your time means that the patient need to say tanking because of  doctor’s helping.

3.      Spatial deixis

1.      e. Doctor   : It will be hard to neglect  this habit, now you spent more than 10 years

 smoking. But I get some suggestion

l. Doctor    : Then , I advice you to stay much more time in the kitchen , just try to

                    create new plats and spend your time thinking of it , you will forgot

                    smoking. You must buy this medicines and consume it really like what I

                    wrote in this paper. It render the cigarette gout bad , then it will reduce

                    you consumption of smoke. After 2 months applying what I advice you to

  do carefully, you will be better.

The word ” this”,  this word is demonstrative pronouns, I was located as cataphoric deixis because  the speaker’s current location  for  something(habit).

The words” in the kitchen “ it’s showed  location. Kitchen is the place for cooking.

4.      Temporal deixis

Temporal dexis is the time encodes utterance  related to the time. Pay Attention this convertation below:

1.      e. Doctor   : It will be hard to neglect  this habit, now you spent more than 10 years

f.  brother : I advised her to quit it when she just stated, but I could not convince her.

     The word “ now” not show the present  but as long as and till now patients have been smoking ( present perfect continues). While word “when”, to show that brother’s sister (patient) have been advised but fail. “when” related with the past

2.      g. Doctor   : Well, it is okay. Jane, I advice you to practice much more sports , relax

                     half  hour every day in the morning .You better have to take care of

                     meals , …….

      The word  “in the morning”  related with  period of the time. Relax half hour every day in the morning meant that the patient( jane) should accustom  to do sport every morning time.

3.      l. Doctor    :  Then , I advice you to stay much more time in the kitchen , just try to

                    create new plats and spend your time thinking of it , you will forgot

                    smoking. You must buy this medicines and consume it regally like what I

                    wrote in this paper. It render the cigarette gout bad , then it will reduce

                    you consumption of smoke. After 2 months applying what I advice you

                    to do carefully, you will be better.

m. Patient  : m. Okay doctor, thanks for your time, I will be back after 2 months

      The word “then” referred to before and after. “then” in this utterance, The doctor explained to the patient(jane) because  she have  failed to  stop smoking  before then for the next future should to try getting more sport and to stay much more time in the kitchen for forgetting consumption of smoke a head. The word “after”  referred to the effect later than before and will be check again.

5.      Discourse deixis

1.      f. Brother   :  I advised her to quit it when she just stated, but I could not convince her

2.      h. brother  :  She tried to do that ,but no thing better

3.      i. Brother   :  Yeah, I can’t stop thinking of cigarettes. People use the internet  to have

   fun or to educate, but, I use it  to search the news of smoking companies.

      The words ” but” one of conjunction to make  a textual coherence or as procedural indicator. “but” on that sentence (f ),(h) and (i) use to make contradiction  the utterance .

Result :

1.      In this research is found 5 element of deixis. They are person deixis, spatial deixis, temporal deixis, discourse deixis and social deixis

2.      The type The five external text element of deictic expression of deixis on   conversation between doctor and patient with her  brother About how to quit smoking.

Person deixis	Spatial deixis	Temporal deixis	Discourse deixis	Social deixis
I, you Her, his My, Your	This	Since Now Then After In the morning	but	Miss Doctor

F.      CONCLUSION

       Based on data analysis, the writer founds the five external elements of deictic expression in conversation which is transcribed into a text. The five external elements are (1) person deixis, (2) partial deixis, (3) temporal deixis, (4) discourse deixis and (5) social deixis. It shows that the external elements in a language cannot be separated  and it must be communicated by  speakers and interpreted by hearers contextually and pragmatically. Only the addressor and addressee can understand  the meaning in certain situation.
