Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Direct Speech is from the speaker’s standpoint, whereas indirect speech is from the listener’s standpoint. Direct speech is when we use the exact rendition of the words of the speaker. Conversely, in an indirect speech own words are used to report the speaker’s statement.
Detailed explanation-2: -As opposed to Levinson, Yule (1996:9) describes deixis as a way of “pointing through language”, and also refers to deixis as a technical word that comes from Greek. Yule (1996) also admits that deictic expressions have their most basic uses in face-to-face spoken utterances.
