The attempt in this paper is to give an on overview of the notion of deixis (categories and deictic expressions) in Sudanese Colloquial Arabic (SCA) and how they operate. I will begin with person deixis then proceed to time, place, discourse, and social deixis. Examples will be given to illustrate each case along the way. Person deixis There are two sets of pronominal forms in SCA: 1- Free morphemes- written as separate words and generally only occur in the position of grammatical subjects. 2- Set of bound pronominal clitics which can be suffixed to verbs, nouns, prepositions, and particle of various types and which may variously act as the grammatical direct object, indirect object or possessor of the word to which they are suffixed. Table one shows the first set of pronominal. (Bracketed forms are Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).) Time Deixis In SCA, a distinction is maintained between the moments of utterance “hassa” means now, “hassa di” meaning immediately, and “qibeil” meaning the moment of reception: Saafar hassa di. Meaning he traveled just now. Wisil qibeil meaning he arrived earlier or before now Discourse Deixis Discourse deixis is text deixis- that is the use of an expression within an utterance to refer to some portion of the discourse that contain the utterance. In SCA, time deictic words are referring to the portion of discourse. Yum bukara. Tomorrow Alusbua alfat. Last week Social Deixis “Swearing” is important feature in socially oriented discourses- most sentences are accompanied by swear. A speaker who doesn’t rely on swearing can in most instances be seen as “unreliable” or “untrustworthy. “Also, certain titles are reserved for certain types of professions, for example, an officer in the army regardless of his or her rank is called “ganaabu” whereas the same officer in the police force is called “d:bit.” Speaker should have that in mind if he or she is to be understood appropriately.
