Abstract
The context can be structured on the intention of a person who expresses and structures the context. The construction of context can provide wider space for implementation of various kinds of linguistic tactics. Deixis reflects the most obvious and direct relation between the language and the context. Empathetic deixis manifests the subjectivity of the discourses. According to communication demand, the speakers may select the different deixis on their own initiative, and structure the context to achieve communication goals.
