The second objectives of this research are to find out the most prevalent, frequently appearing type of deixis utilized by the characters in the aforementioned novella. The object of this research is “The Canterville Ghost” novella. This research applies a qualitative research method involving content analysis. The data of this research was from the characters’ utterances, categorized based on Yule’s theory of deixis.

The steps in doing the analysis consisted of six steps: coding, organizing, categorizing, classifying, interpreting, and concluding. This research discovered all three types of deixis; personal deixis 371 times (72,20%), spatial deixis 131 times (25,50%), and temporal deixis 12 times (2,30%).
