This researcher aimed to analyze how speaker and hearer interaction in Diary of a Wimpy Kid dealt with place deictic expression and to reveal the type of place deictic used within each usage by considering some different usage of deictic term proposed by Levinson (1983) and other linguist. This research used descriptive qualitative method to analysis place deictic term found in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie. There are four different usage found, they are gestural, symbolic, anaphoric, and non-anaphoric usage. Both gestural and symbolic involve pure and impure place deictic. While anaphoric and non-anaphoric only involve pure and impure for each. Those usage is use differently to convey meaning based on context of utterance that tied to the participant.
