I've seen deictic used in developmental psychology, but not in other forms of writing. Neither of my reference books mentions the deictic pronoun. Of course, my books and I are old -- old and "unsophisticated" as some youngster on techwr-l characterized anyone past about the age of 23 the other day. :) Dana W. *************************** Dana Worley Software Product Manager/Manager, Software Support Group Campbell Scientific, Inc.
