Abstract
This paper tries to describe various pragmatic meanings indexed by social contexts, based on the assumption that a language is constantly or interactionally affected by cultures or societies (Agha 1993, Duranti 1992, Errington 1988, Silverstein 1995, Simpson 1997). First, the crucial ideas of 'Presupposing/Creative Indexicality' and 'Indexical orders' Silverstein (1976; 1985; 1995) has developed will be outlined. Next, the following cognitive mechanism will be clarified that macrosociological variables such as sociological gender, age, and status and microsociological variables such as speakers' psychological attitude, setting of the discourse, and the distribution of uchi/soto as well as speakers' own group or social identities are grammatically cateogorized. And, finally, I will argue that linguistic forms can't be directly linked to contextual features such as macro/micro sociological factors but can be dynamically linked to these variables.
