Summary/Abstract: The deictic expressions are linguistic units that indicate the localization of an object in time and space. Every language is characterized by different deictic structures that depend on various linguistic and extralinguistic factors. The analysis of the factors that determine the deictic systems in Italian, Spanish and Polish demonstrates various problems associated with the translation of that kind of structures and offers different ways of solving them.
