Summary/Abstract: The paper presents research findings among the Pomak groups of Turkey. Research with Pomaks living in the surroundings of the town of Biga – not so far from the city of Chanakkale in Turkey, was focused on the use of the deixis in the narrative discourse. The Pomaks in the villages around Biga emigrated to Turkey from Bulgaria after the Russian-Turkish war in 1878. They are coming from the surrounding villages of the town of Chepelare. They speak a Slavic language which they call pomaski which has adapted many lexical borrowings from Turkish. The use of demonstrative pronouns in the narratives of the speakers are observed and their deictic functions are analyzed. Although the paper and study are very small, they still bring new information about the function of demonstrative pronouns in the communication among Pomaks when they use their community language. This is the first sociolinguistic study of Pomak language in Turkey.
