THE PRONOUN IN ENGLISH
o a ‘part of speech’
o very different from other lexical-grammatical classes of words:
(1) semantically:
o have no denotational meaning, do not name objects of reality;
o have very general and unspecified semantics of indication (= deixis) which is
only actualised in context;
o Semantic groups of Pronous:
– Personal ProN;
– Demonstrative ProN;
– Reflexive ProN;
– Reciprocal ProN;
– Possessive ProN;
– Indefinite ProN;
– Relative ProN;
– Interrogative ProN.
(2) morphologically:
o Only a few pronouns are variable while most are not:
o Personal Pronouns have the morphological Category of Case which is differ-
ent from the Category of Case of the Noun:
– the Common – Object – Genitive case forms with incomplete paradigms
o Demonstrative and Personal Pronouns have the morphological Category of
Number
