In this paper, we aim to define the notion of deixis clearly and classify the types of deictics in Korean with rather abundant list of them. Deictics are not referentially autonomous referring expressions and they depend their referentiality on the context of a utterance in several dimensions. So they can be considered as phenomena located on the border line between semantics and pragmatics. We can use deictics to express the empathetic perspective of speaker with some other person in a utterance by relativising the deictic center. While collecting Korean deictics we could distinguish five types of them according to their dimensions, which are person, space, time, discourse and modality.
