The author’s attention is focused on the ways of addressing in legal discourse. The analysis is aimed primarily at the expressions, and word-formative suffi xes used for referring to contractual parties, differentiating their role and stating a relation between them. In addition to this, the goal of the author’s interest is the deictic expression used for making reference to a person, thing, idea, etc., which is nearer or further away in place, time, thought (this/these – that/those, here – there) as well as a special kind of legal deictic expressions such as hereby, whereby, hereinafter.
