The book is a collection of Fillmore's  lectures on deixis delivered in 1971 at Santa Cruz. They are seminal work of the subject matter which features a study of person, place, time, discourse, and social deixis, and, the deictically anchored conditions of the motion verbs '"come" and "go". Some of the materials such as person, place, and time deixis already made their way to standard pragmatics and semantics text books by Levinson and Lyons. Fillmore provides a wealth of examples and other research to elucidate his analyses, some of which are from other languages. Fillmore also acknowledges that there has been a lot of research done on the subject since the lecture series and offers a more up to date bibliography. This work is indispensable for any study on deixis or demonstratives.
