Deixis Phenomena and Appreciation in Frost's Poems

Abstract

 English poetry is a treasure house of the English national thoughts, a poet expressing his feelings and thoughts about nature, society and life, and an important means for English learners to know English culture. English poetry, as a common style, has its own stylistic features, such as paying attention to the beauty of rhyme and rhythm. The appreciation and study of English poetry is usually carried out from the perspective of aesthetics or literature. Of course, some literary theorists also emphasize the pragmatic purposes of poetry, such as enlightenment, pleasure, imitation, self-expression, etc. In view of the textual features and pragmatic effects of poetry, this paper will analyze the pragmatic effects and appreciation of the English poem "Dwelling in the woods on a snowy night" from the perspective of deixis in pragmatics.
