Abstract

Deixis refers to words or expressions that the meanings depend on specific
contexts, such as time, place, or speaker. In the context of watching films, viewers
often struggle to understand the intended meaning if they are not fully focused or
miss important information in the dialogue. Therefore, understanding language
function is crucial, as it explains the purpose of communication, whether to inform,
express emotions, or request something. By understanding deixis and language
function, viewers can better grasp the intended meaning of conversations in the
film, despite potential misunderstandings due to unclear context or lack of attention.
