Abstract

This study aims to analyze deixis usage in the speeches of Liz Truss and Rishi
Sunak during the 2022 UK leadership debate. It identifies deixis types, referents
and compares the deixis choices. The data consists of the debate's utterances,
collected from a video of the event about Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss in the UK
Prime Minister Candidates face-off Sun debate on July 27 2022 and Sky News
Leadership Debate on August 5 2022. The research draws on Levinson (1983) and
Yule (1996) for pragmatic analysis and used descriptive qualitative analysis.
Sunak used deixis elements 574 times, emphasizing person deixis (413), spatial
deixis (6), time deixis (33), social deixis (9), and discourse deixis (113). Liz Truss
employed deixis elements 417 times: person deixis (305), spatial deixis (14), time
deixis (26), social deixis (3), and discourse deixis (69). Their speeches included
991 deictic expressions overall. Sunak's person deixis underscores personal
agency, while Truss adopts a collaborative tone. Both candidates use place deixis
to connect with the audience, showing local commitment. Social deixis highlights
their Prime Minister aspirations. Discourse deixis differs, with Sunak being direct
and Truss employing a diplomatic conversational approach. This reveals their
distinct communication styles in the political debate.
