    Annotation In the present paper, the authors scrutinize the behavior and semantics of English index words inscientific discourse. This paper concentrates on the semantic subtleties of the categorical meaning of proximity/distance expressed by the demonstratives THIS/THAT pronouns generally in scientific texts, and particularly inthe text on gender and linguistics. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is based on fundamentalassumptions of modern linguistic knowledge in deixis and indexicality. The paper employs the methods of component,mental-logical analysis, and the descriptive method. The investigation revealed that the proximal and distaldemonstratives THIS/THAT retain their basic semantic features while functioning in scientific texts, and theirmodified applications emerge from the more fundamental and categorical definition of the distance/proximity.Although these modifications implied by Spatio-temporal markers, they exceed them, converting to psychological,emotional, and speculative markers of acceptance: consent/alienation, explicit/implicit knowledge, certainty/uncertainty
