Abstract (english)
Departing from the well-known ontological parallel between the pointing gesture on the one hand, and linguistic deixis on the other, in this paper we analyse the semantic and pragmatic dimensions of the deictic terms ‘here’ in English, ‘hier’ in German and ‘ovdje’ in Croatian. We systematize the different usages of these terms – both intra- and cross-linguistically – and propose a reading of the semantics of the proximal deictic element for 'linguistic spatial location', which – as our analysis shows – ranges from the pure spatial locational function, via a temporal – more generally metaphorical segment - all the way to a series of discourse functions. We observe that the universality of usage patterns that is found at the spatial, and even spatio-temporal level, can still be found – albeit to a lesser degree – at the discourse level. What seems to be maintained at all levels is the primacy of the proximal segment in terms of referential prominence. We thus conclude that what physical proximity is in the spatial sense, can largely be understood as pragmatic proximity in the linguistic sense.
Abstract (croatian)
Polazeći od dobro poznate ontološke paralele između pokazne geste s jedne te jezične deikse s druge strane, u ovome radu analiziramo semantičku i pragmatičku dimenziju deiktičkih riječi ,,here“ u engleskome, ,,hier“ u njemačkome, te ,,ovdje“ u hrvatskome jeziku. Pokušali smo sistematizirati različite uporabe navedenih termina – međujezično i unutarjezično – te ponuditi semantičko čitanje proksimalnoga elementa “jezičnog prostornog lociranja“. Rezultati naše analize upućuju na zaključak da navedeno čitanje kreće od prostorne komponente, prelazi na vremensku da bi se potom metaforička lepeza čitanja razvila kroz seriju diskurzivnih funkcija. Jezičnu univerzalnost pri tome nalazimo ne samo na prostornoj odnosno prostornovremenskoj osi, već – u nešto manjem opsegu – i u diskurzivnome segmentu. Na svim razinama proksimalnost vezujemo uz referencijalnu prominentnost. Zaključno konstatiramo da fizičku prominentnost u prostornoj domeni možemo usporediti s pragmatičkom prominentnošću u širemu jezikoslovnom smislu odnosno jezičnoj uporabi.
