<![CDATA[This article examines deictic centering and speaker–addressee relations in Jamol Kamol’s poetic discourse from a pragmatic perspective. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which personal and discourse deixis organize the communicative structure of poetic utterances and reveal the interaction between the implicit speaker and the generalized addressee. The analysis shows that deictic centering in Jamol Kamol’s poetry is not always established through an explicitly expressed first-person pronoun. In a number of poetic contexts, the speaker remains grammatically implicit but pragmatically dominant, while the addressee is encoded through second-person verbal markers and acquires a generalized character. The study also demonstrates that demonstrative units such as bu may function not merely as spatial indicators but as discourse-deictic devices referring to propositions, evaluations, and morally significant situations introduced by the poetic voice. On the basis of examples from the cycle “Qirq hadis ilhomi”, the article identifies the functional-pragmatic role of deixis in structuring speaker–addressee relations, directing interpretation, and reinforcing the didactic and evaluative orientation of poetic discourse. The findings suggest that deictic elements in Jamol Kamol’s poetry serve as important linguistic mechanisms for organizing the communicative perspective of the text and for shaping the reader’s position within the poetic act of communication.]]>
