Abstract
The word “deixis” is borrowed from Greek, which means guidance and mark. It is the common phenomenon that deixis is used on various occasions in human life. Besides，deixis is a significant part of the pragmatics theory, in which it means reference. Several theories are employed to analyze the use of deixis in literature and daily discourse. Only few scholars have paid attention to the E-C translation of person deixis in legal texts.
There are different characteristics of person deixis in Chinese and English, the reason of which lies in the fact that these two languages are featured by different expressive habits. The thesis explores the definition, nature and function of person deixis, its use in legal texts and summarizes the translation norms of person deixis.
The thesis includes four chapters. Chapter one is an introduction. Chapter two is about literature review. Chapter three is to explore the features of person deixis in legal texts, the translation of person deixis, and the norms of translating person deixis in English legal texts. Chapter four draws a conclusion, in which the findings and the deficiency of the study of person deixis are discussed in the thesis.
