This opinion waritings were published on the Jakarta Post edition March 2013. In doing this research the researcher employed descriptive qualitative method.

It can be seen that nonnative writer produces more deictic than the native writer in their writing. It indicates that the nonnative writer tend produce more indefinite or definite article in his writing which indicates that the nonnative writer wants to emphasis the thing he wants to tell to the readers. Meanwhile, the native writer wants to emphasize the thing he wants to explain to the readers.
