The present study was conducted in different settings which researcher ’s family members, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances took part in. Data of the study were collected through observing spontaneous speech of native speakers of Jordanian Urban Arabic. The data consist of transcriptions of deictic expressions, which were categorised into groups according to the types or usages of deictic words. The data were translated and transliterated by the researcher. The International Phonetic Alphabet symbols were used to transcribe the data. Findings of the study show that there are five types of deictic expressions in Jordanian Urban Arabic: Personal, spatial, temporal, discourse and social deixis. The current study has also described the various usages of deictic words in Jordanian Urban Arabic: gestural, symbolic, and non-deictic usage.  \nKeywords: Deixis, categories of deictic expressions, usages of deictic expressions, Jordanian Urban Arabic  \n1. Introduction  \nEvery natural language has its own infinite sets of utterances. Utterances are usually made in a particular place and at a particular time. They are also made by a particular speaker and are addressed to some other person(s) called the hearer(s) . According to Lyons (1968), a typical utterance is the one which is made by a speaker who is distinct from the hearer and in which both of the speaker and the hearer are in the same spatio-temporal situation in addition to the fact that it refers to a person or an object (this person or object is called the subject of discourse) . Therefore, the more lexical items that refer to persons or objects, the more subjects or discourse there will be (ibid) . Most words in natural languages do mean what they mean regardless of the speaker, the time, or the place that they are used in. However, there are small sets of words in mostly all natural languages which mean differently according to the speaker who made it, the place that it was made in, and the time that it was made at. These words are called deictic words and the phenomenon in which they occur is called deixis. The word deixis is from the Greek word deiktikos which means pointing reflecting the main function of deixis. The notion of deixis constitutes the focus of many different disciplines: psychology, cognitive science, and linguistics. Linguistically, studies (Fillmore 1971, 1975, 1997; Lyons 1968, 1977; Levinson 1983; Anderson and Keenan 1985; and Diessel 1999, among others) abound about the phenomenon of deixis. For Yule (1996: 9), deixis is a technical term (from Greek) for one of the most basic ones that means ‘pointing via language’. Lyons (1977: 637) defines deixis as follows:  \nBy deixis, is meant the location and identification of persons, objects, events, processes and activities talked about, or referred to, in relation to the spatio-temporal context created and sustained by the act of utterance and the participation in it, typically, of a single speaker and at least one addressee.  \nDescribing the situation in which an utterance occurs, Lyons (1968: 275-76) states:  \nThe typical situation of utterance is egocentric: as the role of speaker is transferred from one participant to another in a conversation, so the ‘centre’ of the d","cbCaieulRw0qqGcd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieulRw0qqGcd","pdf",182676,"English","# 1.
