“…Most research on deixis shows that people usually use deictic expressions in their language. Some researchers who analyzed deixis are Samosir and Zainudin (2008), Arwi and Silitong (2012) who investigated the types of deixis in poems, while Yeibo (2012) and Budiharto (2014) analyzed the stylistic value of deictic expressions in a news article, and also Adetunji (2006) and Quinto (2014) who analyzed the stylistics of deixis in political speech. Besides, the types of speech have been investigated in various studies such as research on discourse use, ethos use, and rhetorical analysis.…”

This study aims to investigate the types of deictic expressions used by Jack Ma in one of his speeches in Nairobi and how these deictic expressions helped him in motivating his audience. Drawing on Fillmore's (1997) category of deixis, this qualitative study found that three types of deixis were present in Jack Ma's speech with the person deixis as the most frequently used type. Furthermore, the use of these deictic expressions constructs the deictic field where Jack Ma situated himself at the deictic centre. The finding suggests that deictic expressions helped him to persuade the audience to trust the speaker and also to motivate them. This study is expected to contribute insights to how deictic expressions can be used to motivate the audience.

“…To the best of the writer"s knowledge, there are only a few studies that discuss the analysis of deixis in a motivational speech. On the listed studies above, only Adetunji (2006) and Quinto (2014) analyzed deixis in speech with a different genre. It appears that there has not been much deixis research using motivational genre from speech.…”

“…Thus, whenever this pronoun was used, it represented several personal experiences, stands, or beliefs of the speaker during the time of rendering the speech or prior. Other research supported the assumption that leaders sometimes separate themselves from their people in order to justify certain social and political decisions and to persuade their people of their actions [17].…”

Personal Deixis Implementation in King Fahad's Speech to the International Troops During the Second Gulf War (1990/1991)

In this paper, the use of some deictic expressions-in the late King Fahad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud's speech to the international troops during the Second Gulf War-and its various implications on the message being delivered by the speaker, and its possible effect on the hearer are examined. Since the term deictic expression covers many linguistic items that could not possibly be comprehensively investigated in one paper, the focus of this paper is on personal pronouns which are analyzed in terms of frequency and implication in order to arrive at a better understanding of their implementation in such a historically significant political speech. The findings support the notions of critical discourse analysis regarding the relation of politics, power, ideologies, and discourse. The use of personal pronouns in this text was sometimes found to convey underlying messages which were intended to persuade the targeted audience of the speaker's decisions and at the same time justify certain major measures that were taken.

“…But I know the incredible resiliency of the Philippine people, and I am confident that the spirit of bayanihan will see you through this tragedy’ (ITV News, ). Five weeks later, Philippine President Benigno Aquino III stated: ‘the task immediately before us lies in ensuring that the communities that rise again do so stronger, better, and more resilient than before’ (Aquino, ) when introducing the Reconstruction Assistance on Yolanda (RAY) plan to partner agencies. Pope Francis is also on record as praising ‘the deep faith and resilience’ (Mayol and Fernandez, ) of Typhoon Yolanda survivors.…”

Typhoon Yolanda and post‐disaster resilience: Problems and challenges

After Typhoon Yolanda devastated the Philippines, ‘resilient’ was a term frequently used by the media, survivors, government officials and various other stakeholders in the city of Tacloban to describe those affected by the disaster. The focus of this article is therefore on how this term was articulated and experienced during this period. The analysis covers how resilience was discursively deployed to describe the condition of residents who were, in fact, often suffering from a double process of dispossession: once by the typhoon and once more by government policy and the inequitable distribution of relief goods and services due to the inadequacies of the disaster response. Despite these inadequacies, Tacloban was presented as ‘an exemplary centre’ of the post‐Typhoon Yolanda relief effort. I argue that the overarching rhetoric and strategies of resilience became rituals aimed at normalising modes of profit‐seeking and recreating the unequal socio‐economic status quo. These rituals occurred at multiple levels; however, the fortunes of Tacloban were indelibly intertwined with the political credibility and status pride of the Marcos/Romualdez family. I argue that ‘resilience’ is a complex, overused, manipulated and contested term and that a more transparent understanding of resilience for disaster relief and rehabilitation is needed.
