The motion verbs "come" and "go" have been given explanations in both deictic and empathetic trameworks of research. However, when we look at the uses of these two verbs in greater detail, we find that these explanations are not complete. In this paper I have tried to find the most appropriate and available explanation that can account for every kind of use. First of all, we examine the deictic analysis of these verbs done by Fillmore arld deai with several problems in this analysis. Secondly, we compare the concepts of empathy and deixis. By deixis, we found that languages are produced by a very speaker-centered or egocentric point of view. By empathy, we found that language permits partial access to other people's inner states through linguistic communication and that information available through language compensates for the impossibility of directly experiencing the other person's point of view.
