Abstract: Christmas is the most important festival in the west, and the British Queen Elizabeth II makes a speech on this day every year to celebrate with the people. The Christmas speech every year involves annual domestic and international events, it is a rare opportunity for the Britiish Queen to express personal opinions and attitudes. Based on the person deixis of the Queen’s Christmas Speech in 2019, this paper intends to analyze the use of person deixis in the corpus and the pragmatic information they convey from the perspective of pragmatics, so as to further understand the pragmatic functions of person deixis. The appropriate use of person deixis in the Queen’s Christmas speeches can effectively highlight the main theme of the Christmas speeches, also achieve the purpose of blessing and appealing to the masses.
