paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines426 - : The realization of deixis in speech / writing deixis is done through the use of special ‘linguistic pointers’ (Werth, 1999) called ‘deictic expressions’, also classified as ‘indexical expressions’ (Adetunji, 2006), ‘shifters’ (Jakobson, 1957), or ‘textual references’ (Halliday & Hasan, 1976). One of the main points here is the fact that their referents cannot be identified without an understanding of their actual context (Zupnik, 1994). In the case of person deixis, its indexical symbols belong to the grammatical category of personal pronouns, while the most obvious local deictic terms are the adverbs of place here / there and the demonstratives this / these and that / those, which are “the purest indicators of directionality and location” (Simpson, 1993: 13 ). In this regard, the first words in each pair indicate proximal perspective as they express physical proximity to the speaker, while the second words take a distal perspective as they denote a certain distance from the location o

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines474 - : 5. The forms of personal address (the use of personal pronouns: Preference for the form of usted over the form of tú to express politeness ). Age is one of the factors that determine initial forms of personal address in Spanish conversation, except in familial relationships in which age no longer causes asymmetric forms of address (in which one of the speakers uses the form usted, the other tú), as it did in days gone by. It must be stressed that both forms (tú and usted) can become unpleasant and impolite. Traditionally, the form of usted is signalled as the pronoun of politeness but, on occasion, it can indicate anger or simply a desire to demarcate distance. In recent years in Spain, one tends to think that the elderly are addressed as usted. This often provokes displeasure in some people who interpret that they are being considered older than they are, for which they usually protest (normally jokingly) and convert this complaint into an amusing way of demanding the address of tú, and

Research also contends that the functional goals associated with the linguistic features of these texts are to construct a credible online identity, assert the researchers’ professionalism and create proximity with readers. Studies on spoken genres such as TED Talks also report the use of conversational features such as deictics, person pronouns (I/you) and inclusive we-pronouns to communicate expert knowledge while conveying “a certain degree of informality and colloquialism” (^[59]Caliendo, 2012: 101 ). It is also argued that TED Talk presenters use stance markers to express judgments and position themselves subjectively (^[60]Scotto di Carlo, 2014).

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines577 - : The present study also sheds light on the situational (register) and contextual (genre) constraints that shape digital texts. In TED Talks, presenters use a conversational style to tell issues of science and the use of linguistic resources such as first and second person pronouns reduces distance “to breach the expert/non expert barrier” (^[178]Scotto di Carlo, 2014: 201 ). In research blogs, conversational features construct proximity (^[179]Luzón, 2013), and in online medical campaigns language resources help scientists to construct credible identities (^[180]Paulus & Roberts, 2018). In analysing science popularisation genres, ^[181]Motta Roth and Scotti Scherer (2016: 173) also underline the “interdiscursivity between discourses from scientific, pedagogic and media spheres”. In the crowdfunding proposals analysed in this study, the situational and contextual constraints easily explain why these texts rely on both grammatical features that are typical of conversation and features
