Summary/Abstract: The two referential procedures, anaphore and deixis, are used by the speaker with the aim of creating, modifying or achieving access to the discourse memory of the interlocutor. In legal texts the deictic markers themselves are few in number, while the cases of anaphoric markers carrying a deictic value are predominant. The main reason for this is the presence of overlapping fields between the context and the situation of enunciation. This makes some markers perform a dual function, anaphoric and deictic.
