are a few references; I published
an ethnography in 2013 that offers in detail the work I did with the
company over several years. I also suggest a reference by Luong, which I
relied on heavily as I started my work. Here's one sample of data from Luong, which got me going, and which I cited in my book:<br></div>-----<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 32pt 0.0001pt 0in;line-height:115%"><img src="cid:ii_15e25278dcaa3fa6" alt="Inline image 3" style="margin-right:0px" width="510" height="272"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 32pt 0.0001pt 0in"> </p>

Hello all. I am writing a piece talking about the use of pronouns in self-representation and I wanted to ask if people are aware of languages besides Japanese which offer speakers a choice of more than one option for singular, first-person pronouns (based on things like gender, situational formality etc). If you are, I would appreciate a brief grammatical outline of the system and/or direction to an appropriate reference work. You can contact me directly off the list at: <a href="mailto:Cyndi.Dunn@uni.edu" target="_blank">Cyndi.Dunn@uni.edu</a><br>
