Abstract

The paper focuses on linguistic personality from the perspective of cognitive and communicative linguistics. It considers some questions concerning the notion of subjectivity in language, i.e. the expression of self and the representation of a speaker's perspective in discourse. Acknowledging that subjectivity in languages arises from indexicality, special attention is drawn to deixis and deixisability as one of the main linguistic realizations of subjectivity reflecting the growing attention in linguistics to the anthropological principle.
