AB Although deixis has been analysed in political speeches and texts in general, little isknown about the influence of language, geographic position, and context when usingperson, time, and space deictics. The overall idea about deixis is that, in the case ofpolitical speeches, it can be used to persuade the audience. This study analyses twodifferent political speeches; different in time, ideology, country, and context, they areBarack Obama’s ‘Yes We Can’ (January 8th, 2008) and David Cameron’s ‘FarewellSpeech outside Downing Street’ (July 13th, 2016). The first takes place in anelectioneering environment and the second in a farewell context. The analysis of the twospeeches identifies that the context influences the use of person and time deictics.Meanwhile, the geographic position and the language do not influence the use ofdeictics.
