| Description: | This article shows the Bribri (Chibchan, Costa Rica) demonstrative system and how it functions in the discursive organization of the Bribri narrative. The concept of deixis as “demonstrative semantic dimension of language”, as Gaínza (1975) did following Karl Bühler’s theory of language, is taken as point of departure. Then, Hanks’ (1992) functionalist proposal on deixis is outlined and applied in the analysis of Sòrbulu, a story of the Bribri oral tradition. |
