Summary/Abstract: The classical distinction between personal, spatial and temporal indexes is questioned by the use in political discourse of toponyms. The referent of those proper names is modified and enriched by the means of mythical discourse. Therefore, in political discourse, toponyms are acquiring personal and even temporal deictic values. The study focuses on the use of the proper name “Catalunya” (Catalonia) in the electoral programs of Catalan parties for the regional elections held in 2012.
