Memory for Deictic Elements in Sentences

Brewer, William F.; Harris, Richard J.

Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 13, 3, 321-327, Jun 74

Research is reported in which subjects memorized sentences containing words from one of five deictic categories. When the sentences were presented in an experimental setting isolated from actual time, place, person, and discourse context, the deictic words were more difficult to remember than nondeictic words.
