This paper deals with Slavic discourse deixis comparing Russian, Polish, Czech and Bulgarian demonstrative and personal pronouns. In general, the Slavic proximal pronouns have precedence over the distal ones. Proximal pronouns, such as Russian eto, Polish to, and Bulgarian tova, are employed more frequently and widely than their distal counterparts to, tamto and onova. The distance-neutral pronoun to in Modern Czech was also a proximal pronoun in the past. These Slavic proximal and former-proximal pronouns function as a discourse deixis marker, whereas, in most other languages, the discourse deixis is mainly a function of distal or non-proximal demonstrative pronouns. However, the Russian, Polish, Czech, and Bulgarian discourse deixis differs in distal demonstrative and personal pronouns. In general, the Polish and Czech discourse deixis does not employ the distal demonstrative pronoun tamto or the personal pronoun ono. The Russian distal demonstrative pronoun to is actively used as a discourse deixis marker, and the personal pronoun ono can also be used to refer to the preceding discourse, though it is not frequent. In Bulgarian the distal demonstrative pronoun onova is rarely used to refer to a discourse, but the personal pronoun to frequently indicates a discourse that is repeatedly referred to in a text. The discourse deixis, which is a peripheral deixis and can be both deixis and anaphora, reveals different characteristics in different Slavic languages. In Russian, where all of the proximal, distal, and personal pronouns function as a discourse deixis marker, the deixis itself plays a crucial role in distinguishing these three pronouns from each other, revealing the speaker's psychological, emotional, temporal, and cognitive proximity to or distance from a given discourse. In Bulgarian, the most analytic Slavic language, the personal pronoun is used more as a discourse deixis marker to reveal the highest givenness of a discourse, and it seems that Bulgarian discourse deixis is more anaphoric than the other Slavic discourse deixis is.

In diesem Aufsatz haben wir uns $zun\"{a}chst\;damit\;besch\"{a}ftigt$, unter welchen Bedingungen die Pronomina der dritten Person korrekt verwendet werden. Doch davor haben wir uns darauf einlassen, wann die Pronomina Restriktionen unterliegen. Die Situationen, in denen die betreffenden Pronomina sowohl grammatisch, als auch kommunikativ korrekt gebraucht werden, sind 1) Prasentation des Referenzobjekts durch den Sprecher, 2) $Auff\"{a}lligkeit$ des Referenzobjekts, 3) Gemeinsame Fokussierung der Kommunikationspartner auf Referenzobjekte, 4) Warten auf das Referenzobjekt und 5) Erinnerung an Referenzobjekte. In diesen Situationen werden verschiedene Faktoren, z.B. die Lage des Referenten im aktuellen Sprechsituation, fur den Pronominagebrauch mitgewirkt. Seit der Antike bilden die Pronomina einen Gegestand der linguistischen Untersuchung. Seitdem werden sie nach unterschiedlichen Aspekten betrachtet und beschrieben. Vor allem wird der Weg der Forschung zu den personalen, aber auch demonstrativen Pronomina durch zwei Begriffe, namlich Deixis und Anaphora, $ma{\ss}geblich$ bestimmt. Im Hinblick darauf haben wir die Frage diskutiert, ob das $Ph\"{a}nomen$ der Anaphora unter dem der Deixis bzw. der Textualdeixis subsumiert werden kann oder nicht. Man kann dafur $pl\"{a}dieren,\;da{\ss}$ Anaphora und Deixis kommunikativ verschiedene Phanomene darstellen $k\"{o}nnte$. Wir neigen allerdings dazu, $da\ss$ es eine semantische $Integrationsm\"{o}glichkeit$ der Anaphora in die(Textual)Deixis gibt. Nach dem Durchmustern verschiedener Verwendungsweisen und theoretischer Positionen haben wir uns mit der Semantik der Pronomina $befa{\ss}t$, die in der Pronominaforschung bisher weitgehend $vernachl\"{a}ssigt$ worde ist. Dabei stellte sich heraus, $da\ss$ die Beeutung des betreffenden Pronomen vor allem durch die Angabe der $Kommunikationssituationsabh\"{a}ngigkeit$ beschrieben werden kann. Damit wurde ein Versuch unternommen, die festgestellten verschiedenen Gebrauchsweisen semantisch zu systematisieren und somit auf eine einheitliche Semantik $zuruckzuf\"{u}hren$.

This paper investigates children's comprehension and production of demonstrative pronouns (DPs), 'zhege' (this) and 'nage' (that), in Mandarin Chinese. Subjects are children of ages three, four, five and six. Based on the results of the present experiment, children's developmental stages and the corresponding age grading are provided. Also, the present study incorporates a physical clue into the experiment. The result suggests that in the acquisition of deixis children rely highly on physical context to work out the meaning distinction. In addition, Piaget's egocentrism hypothesis and H. Clark's marking hypothesis are examined in the study. The result seems to support the egocentrism hypothesis. Subjects under the age of six do fail to shift the deictic center when they and the experimenter have a different perspective. As for the marking hypothesis, the study seems to challenge the hypothesis. The result shows that children actually performed better on the marked term 'zhege' than the unmarked member 'nage'.

Karl $B\"{u}hlers$ Sprachtheorie orientiert sich an der Psychologie. Das zeigt sich im zweten Teil dieser Arbeit. $Au{\ss}erdem$ haben wir da gesehen, wie $pl\"{o}tzlich$ er im deutschen Gebiet seine Wissenschaft abbrechen und so eilig nach Amerika auswandern musste. Damit konnte er sein wissenschaftliches Ziel, also allgemeine Sematologie im Sinne der Logik der $Humanit\"{a}t$, nicht erreichen. Aber trotzdem $la{\ss}t$ sich erwarten, dass wir mit seinem $unverg\"{a]nglichen$ Buch und anderen Daten wieder starten $k\"{o}nnen$. Er nennt das Sprechereignis, das unsere Sinne $r\"{u}hrt$, den ersten Gegenstand der Sprachwissenschaft. Das ist etwas Einmaliges, ein Geschehen hier und jetzt im bestimmten Zeitraum. Das anschauliche Zeigen $geh\"{o}rt$ so zum Wesen der $nat\"{u}rlichen$ Sprache wie die Abstraktion und das begriffliche Erfassen der Welt. Karl $B\"{u}hler$ spricht von dem anschaulichen Zeigen, weil er betonen wollte, dass Deixis an die Weltanschauung gebunden ist; symbolische $Ausdr\"{u}cke$ sind begrifflich andererseits, weil sie von der Sprechsituation $unabh\"{a}ngig$ sind. Die zwei Elemente, die zum vollendeten Erkenntnis $geh\"{o}ren$, sind unelinierbar in jedem $Sprachph\"{a}nomen$ enthalten. Wir mobilisieren die zwei auf jeden fall zu unserem vollendeten Erkenntnis der Welt. Ich habe die These mit der Formel S = M$\times$P beschrieben, die als Cartesisches Produkt von pragmatischen Komponent und Proposition interpretiert werden soll. Diese $Erkl\"{a}rung$ kann auch $ad\"{a}quat$ auf Zeichensinterpretation angewandt werden.

This paper aims to examine distribution and patterns of Women(我們) on Chinese conversation textbook, and also suggest that Chinese class need to impose pragmatic perspective. For this purpose, this paper explores 35 Womens in 42 conversation units on three Chinese textbooks Hanyu Kouyu vol.1~3 at first. Women is more contributed on 'exclusive Women' among three categories (inclusive, exclusive, borrowed) than other two categories, is also contributed on 'symbolic usage' than 'gestural usage'. Second, this paper examines patterns of Women on the three categories. It shows: first, 'inclusive Women', 'exclusive Women', 'borrowed Women' all show up on the textbooks even though on the textbook vol.1(for beginner) surprisingly; Second, 'exclusive Women' may be a primary one of three categories in terms of the coverage of Women. Women covers those who are related with the speaker regardless of being on the spot, and also covers those which the speaker belongs to, for example, nationality, ethnicity etc. Consequently, the results show that Chinese speaking course, from now on, needs to consider pragmatic factors including existing semantic and syntactic factors, and from the pragmatic perspective, impose 'action'(including speech act, body gesture etc.) on Chinese conversation class for the learners' improvement in Chinese speaking.

This article investigates the use of distal demonstrative Hitlo in Taiwanese Southern Min (TSM) from a discourse-pragmatic perspective. The analysis is based on a 5-hour corpus of spoken data, including daily conversations, radio interviews, TV drama series, and some random examples. A total of 172 tokens of Hitlos are identified in the data. They can be divided into six categories according to their functions: firstly, exophoric usage, those Hitlos which refer to an object non-linguistically which can be identified in the immediate situation; secondly, endophoric usage, those which refer to an element textually; thirdly, referent introducing function, those which can be used to introduce a new but identifiable referent into the conversation (the referent usually has topical importance); fourthly, hedging expression, those which serve as a marker of imprecision; fifthly, a condition introducing marker, those which function as an indicator of the coming of a conditional sentence; finally, pause fillers, those which help speakers to manage speech turn or indicate the mental states In addition, an interactive function which Hitlo is found to serve will be discussed. Moreover, a grammaticalizational process involving semantic bleaching which Hitlo is probably undergoing is revealed in general. Finally, a filled demonstrative principle, stating that it may be a universal phenomenon to use demonstratives as filled pause will be proposed.

본 연구는 실어증 환자를 대상으로 화시적(deictic)인 대명사와 조응적(anaphoric)인 대명사의 처리를 살펴보기 위하여 실시되었다. 인칭 대명사와 지시대명사는 기능적인 측면에서 각각 화시적인 대명사와 조응적인 대명사로 구분될 수 있다. 화시적인 대명사란 발화상황에서 직접 가리킬 수 있는 대명사를 지칭하며 언어적 표현에 의존하기보다는 상황 의존적 대명사를 말하고 조응적인 대명사란 앞선 문맥에서 제시된 언어표현을 선행사로 되받는 대명사를 말한다. 인칭 대명사 가운데 1인칭('나')과 2인칭('너')은 화시적인 대명사로, 3인칭 '그'는 조응적인 대명사로, 3인칭 재귀대명사 '자기'는 화시와 조응의 혼합된 것으로 보았다. 지시 대명사의 경우 '이-/저-'는 화시적인 용법이 지배적인 것으로 분류하였고, '그-'는 조응의 '그-'와 화시의 '그-'l로 나누었다. 실험 1은 화시적인 1,2인칭 대명사 처리를 알아보기 위해서 실시되었다. 실험 1의 결과 3명의 브로카 환자와 qdua의 실명증 환자는 1,2인칭 대명사를 비교적 잘 처리하였다. 실험 2는 인칭대명사 가운데 화시적인 요소와 조응적 요소를 모두 가지고 있는 3인칭 재귀대명사 '자기'와 조응적 성격의 3인칭 대명사 '그'의 처리를 알아보기 위하여 실시되었다. 실험 2의 결과 3인칭 재귀사 '자기'의 경우 실험 1보다는 처리에 어려움을 보였으나 3인칭 대명사 '그'보다는 잘 처리하는 결과를 보였다. 실험 3은 지시 대명사 관련 실험으로서 화시적 용법의 '이-/그-/저-'와 조응적 용법의 '그-'의 처리를 살펴보기 위해 실시되었다. 실험 3의 결과 지시 대명사의 처리에 있어서 화시적 용법의 '이-/그-/저-'는 비교적 잘 처리하였으나 조응적 용법의 '그-'를 처리하는 데에는 어려움을 보였다. 실험 1,2,3에서 실어증 환자들은 화시적 대명사를 조응적 대명사보다 더 잘 처리하는 동일한 결과를 보였다. 이러한 실험 결과들은 실어증 환자들이 뇌손상으로 인해 문법적 언어처리에는 어려움을 보이지만 비언어적인, 세상 지식과 관련된 화시적 대명사의 처리는 가능할 것이라는 가설을 뒷받침 해준다. 또한 이러한 실험 결과를 통해 대명사의 기능적인 측면에서 화시와 조응의 처리가 구분되어 있음을 보여준다.

The objective of this study is to analyze the cases related to the lingual and non-lingual metaphors used in the math class at elementary school and consider the values of metaphors as a teaching method for the subject of mathematics. Throughout this study, teachers' gestures are analyzed as lingual and non-lingual metaphors shown between teachers and students in the class for the topic of the inverse proportion in quartic equations for direct and inverse proportions in Chapter 7 for the first semester of the 6th grade at elementary school in terms of the amended curriculum for the year of 2007. According to the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that there are mechanical and hypothetical movement metaphors in the mathematical metaphors observed in this study. Also, in terms of gestures, iconic, metaphoric and deixis gestures are found. Such metaphors seem to be evenly distributed throughout the math class and expressed in various forms. Based on the results of the analysis, the educational meaning given by the utilization of metaphors is considered for the math class.

This Paper is concerned with the impact of linguistic markers of coherence, such as causal connectives. repetitions. and anchoring devices. on the comprehension of a scientific text in Korean. A scientific text on the process of lightning formation was selected. and two versions of the text were constructed by varying the strength of coherence. Eighty-two undergraduate students took Part in the experiment in which they were instructed to fill in the blanks in each text in a recall and a recognition task and to respond to a set of question in a comprehension test. The results of this experiment revealed a selective effect of the cohesive markers. It was found that the different linguistic signals seem to Play a facilitating role in varying degrees in accordance with the type of tasks involved Moreover an analysis of topic continuity from the beginning paragraphs through the last revealed that the text was better understood in the paragraphs containing the main topic better than those without it. This finding seems to indicate that the off-line processing of scientific text is not influenced solely by the local bottom-up processing alone The effect of topic continuity seems to suggest that a global. top-down processing effect has an important role to play. overriding the impact of cohesive devices.
