This paper aims to examine the expressive/stylistic functions of Kim, Soo-yeong and Shin, Dong-yeop`s prose and find the characteristics of the two writers. In this analysis, the three main results are found. The deictic expressions perform the expressive/stylistic function in connection with discourse/text, based on grammatical/pragmatic function. The deictic expressions reflect the writers``attitude towards the situation and the periodic/social context. The two writers have shown the common ground and differences in the use of deictic expressions. The major points are as follows: The``이``group deictics reflect the writer`s attitude and periodic/social context. The choice of deictics reflect the writer`s cognitive/psychological attitude or distance. Especially, in Kim, Soo-yeong`s prose``저``reflects the negative or distant objects and in some cases point out North Korea. The emphasis related phenomena include repetition, concrete representation, and excessive prenominal construction. The repetition is described as following three features. First, the deictics are repeated as the anaphoric use and the flow of the context. Second, the deictics are represented, facing up a real situation or a situation in context. Simultaneously, the circumstances are generic and untransparent, representation is overlapped, adverbial anaphora ``-게``is being repeated. Third, the deictics is repeated to stress the presence of the object or the content meaning. In repetition, concrete representation, and excessive prenominal construction preferred in Kim, Soo-yeong`s. On the other hand, the emphasis on the identity or the property of the referential objects is preferred in Shin, Dong-yeop`s.
