I guess you refer to 'personal pronouns', don't you? So, let me give
you the following references (selection) that deal explicitly with the
question of how personal pronuns may have become grammaticalized:<br>

10 years ago, I had prepared a lengthy book manuscript on 'Personhood
in East Caucasian' that should have become vol.2 of my planned 'Person,
Klasse, Kongruenz'-Series (PKK). Unfortunately, I did not have the time
to finalize the manuscript yet. Chapter 2 of this manuscript deals
extensively with the grammaticalization of personal pronouns (the
refence 'Schulze 1998' given above has a condensend version of this
chapter). So, in case you want to have a closer look at this draft,
please let me know - I would send you a PDF version (alas in German).<br>
