Deixis is to refer your direction to something. Dr. foster gave andy some medicine after he told her about his headaches and she advised him to take the pills three times a day until the pain went away. It"s not a social or friendly context, it is a serious informative instructor from a medical professional so it may be serious without an offense. Anaphora refers to something take because it"s the context of pills you can assume.
