Das Wesen der Indexikalität im Sprachgebrauch

Abstract

The following article concerns the problem of indexicality as an inherent part of human language use. Sulikowski describes the term in some theoretical approaches and issues postulates on indexicality in the translation of particular text genres. He claims that indexical parts of speech possess only relational meaning, bound to its use. Sulikowski creates the indexicality scale which shows the indexicality level of a utterance.
