Abstract: The purpose of this study is to describe the form of deixis used by Pramoedya Ananta Toer in his novels. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with documentation analysis techniques and interviews to collect the data. The results of this study refer to a pragmatic study, namely the form of deixis. The conclusion of the study shows that the form of deixis found in the two novels uses different functions so that this indicates that speakers are able to convey certain meanings to speech partners, making it easier for speakers and speech partners to convey and understand the speech.

Keywords: Pragmatics, Deixis Form, Novel, Pramoedya Ananta Toer.
