The deixis distinction cross-cuts with the FoR distinction, so that five terms are specified for FoR and for deixis, three are specified for FoR only, and two are specified for deixis but not FoR . There is no dedicated term for motion toward the deictic centre parallel to the shore, and no unspecified term that is not deictically anchored ( such a term would not add any information to a lexical verb of motion ).

For example, if Jane says " I like chocolate ", and Julie later reports that " Jane said that she liked chocolate ", Julie's conversion of the present tense " like " into the past " liked " implies a reference to past time relative to the time at which Julie is speaking the center of deixis is moved from the time of Jane's original utterance to that of Julie's current utterance.

Deictic Shift Theory is the process supported by linguists, literary academics, and psychologists that proposes how deixis is achieved in the audience by a work through narration . Within literary scholarship, it is often noted that first and second person pronouns ( and less so, and differently, third ) facilitate readerly identification with the textually inscribed position ( the position of the character or narrator designated by that pronoun ), and evoke a sense of readerly conceptual immersion in the fictional world of the story, contributing to the ways in which the scene is imaginatively realized in the mind of the reader, particularly the perspective from which the scene is conceptually visualized.
