Language is more than a sign as it can function as a tool for communication among humans. This means that language can be learned by the humans. One of the fields that study the language is pragmatics. Pragmatics can be defined as the study of contextual meaning; therefore there should be a relationship between language and the context. However, this relationship can be recognized through deixis. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the types of deixis found in the story of “The Legend of Lake Toba”. This paper uses descriptive qualitative method, because it analyzes the types of deixis found in the story. The method of collecting the data is documentation.
