[Linganth] First person pronouns

[Gaudio, Rudolf]

Hi Cyndi,

Kira Hall and Veronica O’Donovan (1996) analyze hijras’ use of feminine and masculine first-person singular pronominal forms in Hindi. 

Hall, K., & V. O’Donovan (1996). Shifting gender positions among Hindi-speaking hijras. In Janet Bing, Victoria Bergvall & Alice Freed (Eds.), Rethinking Language and Gender Research: Theory and Method. London: Longman. 228-226.

Best,
Rudi

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: Cyndi.Dunn at uni.edu
