| Deixis | A reference within a sentence that relies on the context being known to interpret correctly. e.g. "Pass me that!" |
| Hedges | Words or phrases such as "maybe", "perhaps" or "sort of" used to soften the impact of what is said or to make speech sound more polite. e.g. "perhaps you could put" instead of "you could/should put." |
