Main Supervisor: Dr. Iwa Lukmana, M.A. Co-Supervisor: R. Dian Dia-an, M.Hum.
This study entitled “Person Deixis in Bukan Empat Mata and Show Imah Talk Shows”
investigates the use of person deixis in Bukan Empat Mata and Show Imah talk shows, and person deixis contribution toward the structure of the talk shows. The study is based on a qualitative case study. The data include transcriptions of the both talk shows. The data were obtained by recording an episode of Bukan Empat Mata on January 22nd, 2013, and an episode of Show Imah on January 14th, 2013. They were analyzed using person deixis theory mostly proposed by Levinson (1998), Lyons (1977) and Yule (1998). They define person deixis as expressions which refer to objects such as humans or animals, or interlocutors in a communication situation. The study reveals two discoveries. First, it is found that first person deixis is mostly used in both talk shows (Bukan Empat Mata 58.1% and Show Imah 57.7%) due to the contents of the conversation are questions and answers about self-experiences, comments, and feelings to avoid insulting third parties by using self exploitation, and to gain shared-knowledge among interlocutors and audiences of the talk shows. The use of first person deixis is also
useful to create humor by avoiding insulting third parties and using “apparent contradiction”. Second, it is also found that person deixis contributes to the structure of the talk shows whether in the opening, body, or closing part to make the whole talk show more humorous, dynamic, and attractive. Overall, it can be said that variety of language use is very important in the talk shows and it shows the politeness among the interlocutors and audiences.

INTRODUCTION
The content of first chapter is about introduction of this research. Background of
the study, research questions, aims of this study, and organization of the paper are
presented in this chapter.
1.1 Background of the Study
In any kinds of daily communication such as conversation, broadcasting,
lecturing, and so on, people cannot avoid deixis. It will appear in communication.
For example, people use deixis realized lexically through the word „you‟, „here‟, and „now‟ to indicate something or someone in conversation. In this case, those
words are used to point people, places, and time. Thus, deixis, as O‟Keeffe et al.
(2011, p. 36) explained, enables people “to refer to entities in context”. It is
obvious that deixis involves in daily communication.
Furthermore, a conversation will be more effective by using deixis. People
usually use deixis when conversing with others. For instance, a person does not
need to say the full name of the place that the hearer knows in a conversation. The
person merely needs to say „here‟ or „there‟ to point the intended place. Through
this way, the communication will be more effective.
Considering the importance of deixis in daily communication, many
researchers have conducted studies to investigate deixis in different areas and
contexts. They have investigated deixis such as in daily conversation
(Rachmawati, 2011), in advertisement (Uddin, 2009), in children‟s utterance
(Stoyanova, 2005; Saputra, 2010), in literary texts (Sultan and Yoins, 2010), and
in entertainment program (Meylitasari, 2012). However, it seems that the use of
deixis in talk show has not been investigated yet. In fact, the presenters and
Inka Noor Aulia, 2014

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
According to Morissan (2009), talk show belongs to soft news and it means a TV
program which shows one or some people (guest stars) to discuss certain topic, and led by a
presenter In Indonesia, talk show programs are popular nowadays. Many Indonesian people
in all ages watch that kind of program. As a result, almost all Indonesian TV stations have
talk show programs such as Bukan Empat Mata in Trans 7, Show Imah in Trans TV,
Indonesia Lawyer Club in TV One, Hitam Putih in Trans 7, Sedap Malam in RCTI, Kick
Andy in Metro TV, etc.. By the existence of many talk show programs in television, there are
many Indonesian people watch the programs. By the frequency for watching the programs,
Indonesian people absorb much information from the shows, included language style.
Furthermore, the information they gain from the shows will influence their idea and attitude.
Television broadcasting gives the influence toward apparatus which produce thought and
attitude which are needed for the social and cultural reproduction of society (Marcuse in
Arifin, 2010, p. 16). According to scientific research that was done by LIPI (Lembaga Ilmu
Pengetahuan Indonesia), bad impacts in people‟s physic and psychics are also influenced by
TV broadcasting programs. The consequence is that talk shows influence the language, idea,
mental, moral, and attitude of Indonesian people. Therefore, it is very important to know how
the participants in talk shows speak and deliver their utterance, especially due to the very big
impact that is resulted from the programs toward people, especially language or linguistic
effect.
Considering that, the researcher takes two talk show programs as the samples to be
investigated. The two talk show programs are Bukan Empat Mata in Trans 7 and Show Imah
in Trans TV. Both talk shows were chosen due to the atmosphere of them are the same i.e.
comedy. Their popularity in Indonesia and their achievements to become nominees in
Panasonic Gobel Awards 2013 also became the reasons of the sample selection.
Therefore, the researcher is interested in investigating deixis in talk show. The present
study investigates deixis especially person deixis particularly in Show Imah and Bukan Empat
Mata talk shows. The person deixis is chosen in the present study because those talk shows
seem to use various personal pronouns. What make this study different from the previous
studies are the investigated data which is talk shows, and the investigation of contribution of
Inka Noor Aulia, 2014

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
This study will give two contributions, namely theoretical and practical contributions.
Theoretically, this research is expected to contribute to the linguistic study, especially in
pragmatic study, concerning person deixis theory in TV talk shows. This is also useful as a
reference for next research in pragmatics study. Then, practically, this research also motivates
other studies concerning the comparison of the talk shows. Furthermore, this study can be
used as reference or information about the way talk show participants, whether the presenters
or guest stars, produce their utterances.
1.2 Research Questions
This study is investigated to analyze the issues in the following research questions.
1. How is person deixis used in Bukan Empat Mata and Show Imah talk shows?
2. How does person deixis contribute to the structure of Bukan Empat Mata and Show Imah
talk shows?
1.3 Aims of the Study
Considering the background and the research questions above, aims of this study are:
1. To analyze how person deixis is used in Bukan Empat Mata and Show Imah talk shows;
2. To analyze how person deixis contribute to the structure of Bukan Empat Mata and Show
Imah talk shows.
1.4 Clarification of Related Terms
Some specific terms below are used in the present study and need clarifying. They are deixis,
person deixis, talk show, Bukan Empat Mata, and Show Imah.
Deixis is a branch of pragmatics study which comes from ancient Greek word
technically used to mean „pointing‟ or „indicating‟ via language (Lyons, 1977). Any linguistic form used to accomplish pointing expression is called a deictic expression (Yule, 1996, p. 9).
Inka Noor Aulia, 2014
Person deixis in bukan empat mata and show Imah talk shows
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
Person Deixis, which is the focus of this study, is concerned with the identity of the interlocutors in a communication situation (Fillmore, 1997, p. 61). Furthermore, Yule (1998)
also defines person deixis as a type of deixis which points to a person such as me, you, him,
and them.
Talk Show is a TV program which shows one or some people (guest stars) to discuss certain topic, and led by a host or presenter (Morissan, 2009). In its process, talk shows
usually use personality interview which is a type of interview on the air. Baksin (2009, p. 91)
mentions that:
Personality interview is a question and answer about personality of the interviewee himself. Interview with a famous person (a movie star, a role model teacher, a sport champion, etc) about his experience, age, education, hobby, etc are examples of personality interview.
In this era, there are so many talk show programs in television, even in all TV stations
in Indonesia. In this study, there are only two talk shows are being investigated, namely
Bukan Empat Mata and Show Imah. Bukan Empat Mata is a talk show program in Indonesia
TV channel, namely Trans 7 which is led by Tukul Arwana. Every episode presents certain
theme and added by humor. Bukan Empat Mata won the Panasonic Awards for two years
(2009-2010) as the Best Entertainment Talk show (Wikipedia.org). Show Imah is one of daily
TV talk shows in Indonesia that broadcasts in Trans TV channel every 3.30 PM from
Monday until Friday. The talk show is presented by Soimah, an Indonesian actress who is
also a comedian.

RESEARCH METHOD
This chapter explains the method which was used in this research. It covers
research design, data collection, and data analysis.
3.1 Research Design
This study is aimed at analyzing the use of person deixis in Bukan Empat Mata
and Show Imah talk shows; and analyzing person deixis contribution to the
structure of Bukan Empat Mata and Show Imah talk shows. The suitable approach
to be used in investigating those problems is qualitative. It was chosen because
qualitative approach observes the language use of a person in a particular way
(Duff, 2008). In addition, Silverman (2001, p. 25) stated that “qualitative study is
concerned with exploring people‟s life histories or everyday behaviors”.
Accordingly, qualitative approach gives a better understanding of a certain subject
matter dealing with the behaviors. Furthermore, Moleong (2004) stated that
qualitative approach is aimed at studying phenomena in a society. Since the social
world becomes the focus in qualitative approach, Croker (2009, p. 7) agreed that:
As qualitative researchers believe that meaning is socially constructed, their research focus is on the participants – how participants experience and interact with phenomenon at a given point in time and in a particular context, and the multiple meanings it has for them.
In line with those opinions, the present study is qualitative because it
observed the language use or language behavior of participants in the talk shows
and it is also studied social phenomenon in the talk shows. In line with Croker,
Bogdan & Biklen (1992) agree that “meaning is always subject to negotiation”. It
means that meaning will be seen differently by different people. The „participant perspectives‟ becomes the concern of a qualitative approach. It is suitable due to
Inka Noor Aulia, 2014
Person deixis in bukan empat mata and show Imah talk shows
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
meanings or different referencess depend on the perspectives of communication
participants (Grundy, 2008). Afterwards, this study is in line with a characteristic
of qualitative approach which is the data are analyzed inductively (Bogdan &
Biklen, 1992).
There are various designs within qualitative approach due to “the term „qualitative approach‟ is an umbrella term used to refer to complex and evolving research methodology” (Croker, 2009, p. 5). However, the present study used a
qualitative case study. A case study is a qualitative design which focuses upon a
single entity (e.g. person, group, event, and so on) or a case within its real-life
contexts (Bromley, 1986; Yin, 2003). Besides, the data analysis on the case study
covers in depth (Gall, 2003 as cited in Duff, 2008). Accordingly, Creswell (2009)
pointed out that case study is a strategy of investigation where a program, event,
activity, process, or one or group is explored in depth. Furthermore, Hood (cited
in Heigham and Croker, 2009, p. 68) pointed that boundedness principle is central
in case study. Merriam (1998, p. 9) agreed that a case is a „bounded system‟ or a
defined individual or entity to be explored. Stake (in Creswell 1995) added that
cases are bounded by time and activity. In the field of applied linguistics, case
studies are usually associated with interpretive qualitative research (Duff, 2008).
In the present study, the talk show programs were considered as a single case and
they were analyzed and interpreted in depth. Therefore, case study was considered
as the proper design for the present study. 3.2 Data Collection
The data of this study were verbal communication in talk show programs. They
were collected by recording. As the data of the study was a spoken form, the data
need to be transcribed into written form for analytic use (Polkinghorne, 2005).
Two TV talk shows were chosen as the data i.e. Bukan Empat Mata in Trans 7
Inka Noor Aulia, 2014
Person deixis in bukan empat mata and show Imah talk shows
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
popular in Indonesia and they became nominees in Panasonic Gobel Awards
2013. Besides, the situations of both talk shows are the same, namely comedy.
One episode of each talk show was chosen to be the samples on this study. An
episode of Show Imah talk show, which was live broadcasted in Trans TV was
recorded on January 14th, 2013, then an episode of Bukan Empat Mata, which was
also live broadcasted in Trans 7 was recorded on January 22th, 2013. Each episode
of both talk shows was chosen because it has the same numbers of participant
(one presenter / host, and two assistants / co-hosts). In addition, each episode
contains various person deictic expressions either in Indonesian or in Javanese
language. The use of Javanese language in both talk shows was probably
influenced by the background of primary hosts of both talk shows i.e. Tukul
Arwana and Soimah who come from Java. After the data were transcribed in the
written form then they were analyzed further.
3.2.1 Bukan Empat Mata
Bukan Empat Mata is a talk show program in one of Indonesia TV channels
namely Trans7. It is presented or hosted by Tukul Arwana, a comedian. Because
of the background of the presenter is comedian, the talk show goes on humorous
and casual atmosphere. Tukul Arwana is the host in this talk show. Moreover
there are also Peppy, Vega Darwanti, and Ola Ramlan as co-hosts who help the
main host to lead the program.
3.2.2 Show Imah
Show Imah is also a talk show program in Indonesian television. It is broadcasted
in Trans TV channel. What makes Show Imah different with Bukan Empat Mata
is the host or presenter is a woman: Soimah. Her background is also a comedian, a
traditional singer and a dancer. The same with Bukan Empat Mata, the
background of the host, which is comedian, also lead the program flows in a
Inka Noor Aulia, 2014

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
namely Yadi and Deswita Maharani in leading the talk show. They are acts as
helpers or assistants, while Soimah acts as a mistress in the talk show.
3.3 Data Analysis
As mentioned in the data collection, the data of the study were in the form of
transcription of the talk shows. There were several steps in analyzing data of the
present study i.e. identification, classification, quantification, and interpretation.
The first step was identifying the occurrences of person deictic expression based on the theory of Fillmore (1997), Grundy (2008), Levinson (1998), Lyons
(1977), O‟Keeffe (2011), and Yule (1998). They define person deixis or deictic expression as expressions which refer to objects or interlocutors in a
communication situation. The object can be humans, animals, or things. In this
case, a word is considered as person deixis when it is subject pronoun (I, you, we,
they, he, she, it), or object pronoun (me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them), or
possessive adjective (my, your, his, her, its, our, their), or possessive pronoun
(mine, yours, his, hers, ours, and theirs) and or reflexive pronoun (myself,
yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves) (Fillmore in
O‟Keeffe, 2011). However, subject pronoun of I, we, they, you, he, she and it were non-deictic when the words are generic, or anaphoric. See Table 3.1 column (3) to
see the example of identification process.
The Example [8] exemplifies the identification of person deictic
expression saya from the utterance that was produced by Deswita when she talked
to Soimah to inform that she wanted to pick up her phone.
[8] Saya Mau angkat telepon
I want lift telephone
Inka Noor Aulia, 2014
Person deixis in bukan empat mata and show Imah talk shows
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
Example [9] exemplifies the the identification of person deictic expression
that was produced by Soimah toward Deswita (H) when she was angry with
Deswita because Soimah thought that Deswita did not help Yadi.
[9] Kudune kowe ki sing resik Should you part part clean
„You should be clean‟
From the utterances in Examples [8] and [9], the pronoun saya and kowe
were identified as person deictic expressions. See Table 3.1 column 3.
The second step was classifying those person deictic expressions into three categories as proposed by Levinson (1983) and Cruse (2000) which include
first person (speaker inclusion), second person (addressee inclusion), and third
person (speaker and addressee exclusion). After they were classified in three
categories of personal pronoun, then the person deictic expressions were classified
based on the language formality.
The pronoun in Example [8], has been identified and classified into first
person deixis. Furthermore, from its language formality, saya is considered formal
Indonesian, while in Example [9], the second person deictic expression kowe
(you) is considered casual Javanese. To see the classification process, language
formality and the description, see the Table 3.1 column 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
Table 3.1 Data analyses of identification & classification

who acted as a mistress or the host of the talk show. the host. It was pointed to Deswita as hearer who acted as a maid or a co-host in the talk show.
The third step was quantifying or calculating occurrences of person deictic expressions in each category to discover the tendency of person deixis that
were used in those talk shows. Table 3.2 is applied to see the tendency of first,
second, and third deictic expressions in both talk shows.

After the tendency of the occurrences of first, second, and third person
deixis were revealed, the total of each category was recapped in Table 3.3. Table
3.2 and Table 3.3 are applied in Show Imah or Bukan Empat Mata talk shows.

using such deixis. The interpretations were also followed by the discussion. The

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
This chapter presents the summary of the findings and discussions briefly. It is
then followed by the suggestions for further study relating to person deixis in talk
shows.
5.1 Conclusion
The study examines (1) the use of person deixis in Bukan Empat Mata and Show
Imah talk shows, and (2) person deixis contribution toward the structure of Bukan
Empat Mata and Show Imah talk shows.
It is found that first person deixis is mostly used in both talk shows (Bukan
Empat Mata 58.1% and Show Imah 57.7%) due to the contents of the
conversation are questions and answers about self-experiences, comments, and
feelings. It is followed by the second person (Bukan Empat Mata 34.9% and Show
Imah 32.5%) and third person deixis (Bukan Empat Mata 7.0% and Show Imah
9.8%). The dominant use of first person deixis was triggered by some probable
reasons such as to avoid insulting third parties by using self exploitation, and to
gain shared-knowledge among interlocutors and audiences of the talk shows. The
use of first person deixis is also useful to create humor by avoiding insulting third
parties and using “apparent contradiction”. Furthermore, this is the detail of
person deictic expressions that were found in both talk shows. Participants in
Bukan Empat Mata talk show used first person deictic expressions such as saya,
kita, aku, ku, my, gue/gua, I, me, kami, noun phrase functioning as pronoun (tante,
nya/my), second person deictic expressions such as kamu, dirimu, lu/elu, -mu, you,
anda, vocatives (mas, ibu/bu, bro, pak), noun phrase functioning as pronoun
(-nya), and third person deictic expressions such as dia, mereka, them, then
participants in Show Imah talk show used first person deictic expressions such as
Inka Noor Aulia, 2014
Person deixis in bukan empat mata and show Imah talk shows
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
(ndoro, -nya/my), second person deictic expressions such as kamu, sampeyan,
lu/elu/elo, kowe, kau, vocatives (mas, nya/nyonya, mba, bapak), noun phrase
functioning as pronoun (aa, neng) and third person deictic expressions such as
dia, mereka, and -Nya (God), noun phrase functioning as pronoun (-e. –nya/her,
mbak ayu, ndoro, nya/him, nyonya).
It is also found that person deixis contributes to the structure of the talk
shows whether in the opening, body, or closing part. The contribution of such
deixis is to make the whole talk show more humorous, dynamic, and attractive. It
is because the deictic expressions which were used in every part of the talk shows
varied ranging from formal to intimate style. However, there is a difference in the
opening part of both talk shows in which Bukan Empat Mata with wider range of
audiences used the formal and familiar person deixis in order to gain
shared-knowledge among interlocutors and studio audiences or to make clear the
references, while Show Imah with more local studio audiences and also local
atmosphere used person deixis in local variety of language such as Javanese and
Sundanese. Furthermore, this judgment still need further research to make sure the
validity.
Overall, it can be said that variety of language use is very important in the
talk shows and it shows the politeness among the interlocutors and audiences. The
realization of such politeness can be seen through the use of polite and formal
deictic expressions to address interlocutors. The expressions such as saya, kita,
vocatives (mas, ibu/bu, bro, pak/ bapak, nya/nyonya, mba), and noun phrases
functioning as pronoun (tante, nya/my, -nya, ndoro, aa, neng, -e. –nya/her, mbak
ayu, ndoro, nya/him, nyonya.
5.2 Suggestion
This section provides several suggestions on the basis of delimitation of the
present study. First, this study focuses only on talk shows in Indonesia TV
Inka Noor Aulia, 2014
Person deixis in bukan empat mata and show Imah talk shows
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
TV talk show in Indonesia and abroad. Second, the study only concerns verbal
language. Further study may consider other semiotic resources such as gesture.
Third, this study employs manual text analysis. Further study may use corpus
