Summary/Abstract: The present article aims at analysing the role and functions of the deictic adverbs of time in the organisation of time, both in a fictional text and in oral communication. For a precise delimitation of the period / the time interval, we considered the discourse axis as a point of reference and we tried to highlight the way how the present tense is perceived as an opposite of past and future. If in oral communication the temporal reference is represented by the T0 moment of speech, the temporal detection of events is much more complex in fictional texts, and it should take into account several parameters imposed by the narrator.
