Abstract

This paper studied deixis in cognitive linguistics, and mainly introduced three types of deixis: spatio-temporal; knowledge-related; empathy. On the basis, the literature on this topic in recent years was reviewed relying on China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science. The findings are: the deixis represented by "这" and "那" and "this" and "that" are related to the distance of psychological space rather than only physical space; the emerging study like children's deixis and the combination of deixis with sign language has been developing gradually. More cross-field or other empirical studies will attract more researchers to conduct in the future.
