As linguists say that pragmatics relates to the study of deixis (at least in part), implicature. presupposition, speech acts, and aspects of discourse structure. Thus the materials of the president's speech are of interesting studies in the field of pragmatics. From Pak Joko Widodo's Speech Text in Bandung Asian-African Conference 2015, the analysis can be done specifically on the aspects of deixis. The deixis concerned then is about person deixis, place deixis, and time deixis as recommended by Levinson. Person deixis concerns the encoding of the participants in the speech event in which the utterance in question is delivered. Place deixis concerns the encoding of spatial locations relative to the locations of the participants. And time deixis concerns the encoding of temporal points and spans relative the time at which an utterance was spoken or a written message inscribed. The findings show that the three kinds of deixis are really used in that speech.Keywords: president's speech, person deixis, place deixis, and time deixis
