Abstract

Deixis, particularly temporal and spatial deixis, is commonly found across various forms of media, including newspapers. This phenomenon reflects how journalists strategically use language to refer to specific times and places in delivering political information. This study focuses on the use of time and spatial deixis in political discourse published in Indonesia’s political column of The Jakarta Post newspaper. The objectives of this research are: (1) to identify the types of temporal and spatial deixis found in political news articles, and (2) to analyze the contextual meanings of those deixis expressions from a pragmatic perspective. This research adopts a qualitative approach with content analysis as the method of data collection. The data were derived from five selected political articles published in 2024, presented in the form of excerpts containing temporal and spatial deixis. The findings reveal two main types of deixis: temporal deixis (60%) and spatial deixis (40%). Temporal deixis is mostly used to refer to past political events and upcoming agendas, while spatial deixis refers to key locations relevant to the political context. These results show that deixis plays a crucial role in constructing contextual meaning and enhancing the clarity of political information in media discourse.
