Generation

Deixis refers to words whose meaning depends entirely on context—specifically, who is speaking, when, and where. Words like "I," "here," "now," "this," and "yesterday" are deictic because they shift reference depending on the situation: "I" means whoever is currently speaking, "here" refers to the speaker's location, and so on. Without knowing the context of an utterance, you cannot determine what these words actually refer to, which makes them fundamentally different from words like "tree" or "run" that have stable meanings.
