Abstract:

This book explores the internal structure of personal pronouns in Brazilian
Portuguese, with a special emphasis on the first-person singular, which
exhibits severe syncretism in this language. This study is an investigation
into the formative features of pronouns in Brazilian Portuguese and their
relationship with the phenomenon of syncretism. Empirically, this book
provides a description of the internal structure of personal pronouns in
Brazilian Portuguese, showing that the traditional phi-features used to
construct a pronoun (person, number, gender, and case) are actually categories
which encompass more elemental features which define the content and the shape
of a pronoun. It shows that more elementary component structures of the
person, number, gender and case categories are able to satisfactorily describe
the pronoun system in Brazilian Portuguese, meaning that different pronouns
(and their syntactic roles) may be described based on their inner composition.
In terms of theory, this book defines which elementary formative features form
a pronoun, how these features are composed, and what the syntactic
consequences are.
