Deixis is widely applied and commonly used in languages. For modern Chinese, when those nouns have been used repeatedly, the pronouns are introduced to take the nouns’ place. This is widespread accepted in both oral and written language, but not a requirement. The nouns can be employed times although the language may not be pithy for this, but emphasis can be expressed and special effect can be indicated.The thesis focuses on the compound person deixis consisted of the personal pronoun and person noun. According to their order of combination, the compound is divided into two parts:personal pronoun and NP, NP and personal pronoun. From syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic perspectives, the paper analyzes the two types’characters and features in the communication through the method of description and explanation, semantic analysis, statistics, replacement. The essay holds the opinion that the compound could highlight the subjective intention of the speakers and emphasize certain characters.The dissertation contains four chapters:The first chapter is the induction. It tells the goal, significance, field and method of the research in addition to the material source of the examples. The former researchers’work and ideas are partially listed and analyzed here. The paper deals with the personal pronoun and NP compound which is separated into personal pronoun+NP and NP+personal pronoun to compare and analyze. The latter patten is seldom researched previously.The second chapter starts from the syntactic angle, and deals from the structure and the function of the compound in the sentence.We Put NP into different groups and analyze the linking rule of the NP and personal pronouns. Classify the personal pronouns into various types to show the differ in the principles and amount difference in odd persons.Kinds of syntactic constituents are taken by part of the compound, either NP or personal pronoun, such as the subject, object and so on excluded of double objects. As some compound whose pronoun and noun can go with the verb, but the compound in itself is not connected by a logical way, so the double objects is not our researching field.The third chapter access to the compound from the semantics direction, putting the nouns into the meaning groups which indicating the attributes like definite, differential and quantitative. Within the group, analyze the relationship between the noun and the pronoun. Apposition and possession is the leading relation of the pronoun and the noun. For the possession, the endocentric phrase is the of the most number, subject predicate is of the slim number and only for some exceptional cases.The fourth chapter gets into the compound through pragmatic function. The paper goes into the topic through the view of the relationship of person involved in the conversation and tries to find the reason for some ambiguity. With it, is the study to the empathetic usage and the transfer of deixis among persons.The last one is the conclusion, summing up the ideas of the chapters above.
