(The Deictic Expressions in Updating the Theme of the Cyril and Methodius Mission in the Beginning of the Sermon Written by Juraj Fandly)

Abstract: The subject of the study is the analysis of the use of deictic expressions in the beginning of the sermon written by Juraj Fándly Concio Historico – Panegyrica de Sanctis Slavorum Apostolis, Cyrillo, & Methodio dedicated to Saint Constantine and Methodius, published as part of the two-volume edition of Fándly‘s Príhodné Swátečné Kázňe (Trnava 1795 – 1796). Attention is focused on the area of personal and temporal deixis, on the analysis of means by which the sermon refers to the participants of the communication and their status, role and actual present situation. The study asks whether there is a correlation between the compositional division of sermon and the distribution of deictic expressions, and how deixis participates in the process in which the subject of the Cyrillo-Methodian mission becomes an actual part of the obedient lecture-oriented discourse.
