The result of the first study is first person deixis as the most dominant type of person deixis while the second one is kinship lexeme. Based on the first finding by Putri and Kurniawan 2015, singular first person deixis is mostly used in USA Presidential Campaign speeches.

Furthermore, Rahayu 2015 examined the use of person deixis in Mata Najwa Talk Show. This study proves that kinship lexeme has the highest amount of person deixis usage than others. Since it is a TV program watched by many people in Indonesia, the host and guest of Mata Najwa have to use kinship lexeme to show politeness among the host, guests and audience.
