Person and Empathetic Deixis in the Institutional Discourse
Abstract
The paper explores the use of person and empathetic deixis in the institutional discourse within an interdisciplinary landscape. It underpins a corpus-based approach, focusing on texts on COVID19 pertaining to the World Health Organization. Our aim is to demonstrate that deictic pronominals have collective self-reference, expressing solidarity and empathy.
