<DIV dir=ltr>Hi everyone,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'm interested in uses of second person for 'generic,' 'impersonal,' or 'procedural' functions, e.g., 'you go straight and then left,' 'you never know what you're up against,' etc. Anna Siewierska (Person, p. 212) mentions that it occurs in Germanic, Romance, Slavonic languages, as well as Hungarian, Estonian, Komi, Turkish, Abkhaz, and another dozen or so non-European languages. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>At the moment, I'm interested in the cross-linguistic extent of this phenomenon. I would be grateful if people would be able to tell me in what languages it does (or doesn't) occur. If there are any linguistic discussions of this in particular languages or families, that would be great too.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I will post a summary of the responses, if there are any.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Best wishes,</DIV>
