Abstract

Broca’s aphasia is a left brain disorder that affects the ability to produce language. Patients with Broca’s aphasia have difficulty expressing ideas so that they speak a little, stutter, and often use gestures. The pragmatic theory in this study aims to reveal the meaning of deixis in speech that is informed by a subject with expressive aphasia. Patients often deal with communication by using spatial deixis and time deixis. The study was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach to a stroke patient that had an impact on lesions in the Broca’s area. For more than 18 years, the patient has experienced expressive aphasia with the condition getting worse in language. The object of study is in the form of speech and gestures exhibited by informants when conveying messages to listeners. The technique of data collection was through observations and the results were recorded and described in the form of field notes. Data analysis used deixis theory as a framework in revealing the informants’ deictic speeches relating to space and time as their communication strategy. The results of the study proved that there are findings in the form of difficulties of the informants in calling out words in their mental lexicon related to the designation of place and time. This makes informants tactics to combine speech with gesture.
