International Linguistic Association

Meetings

Clifford A. Hill, Arthur I. Gates Professor of Language and Education Emeritus, Teachers College, Columbia University

Thinking Back on the Deixis Research:
What Does it All Mean?

Every decade, starting in the 1970s, I have presented research on spatial and temporal deixis at the International Linguistics Association. This presentation, initiating a fifth decade, will be divided into two parts:
 
(1) earlier presentations will be used to review significant developments in the research

(2) five distinct perspectives will be used to place the research in a larger context

     (a)  the methodological 
     (b)  the sociolinguistic
     (c)  the psycholinguistic  
     (d)  the educational 
     (e)  the sociopolitical   

For those interested in more detail, a summary of this presentation can be found by clicking here.  One can also find there brief speculation about what a presentation in the sixth decade might be if I am able to return and an invitation is issued.

Q & A to follow talk. All are welcome
