[Linganth] pronouns or person referring expressions?

[David Zeitlyn]

Thanks for Jim Wilce and Adam Harr for broadening the discussion
In
Zeitlyn, David. 2005. Words and Processes in Mambila Kinship: the 
Theoretical Importance of the Complexity of Everyday Life. Lanham, 
Maryland: Lexington Books (Rowman & Littlefield).

I try and establish a general framework (including nulls) for talking 
about people
so including names, titles, descriptions, pronouns etc. -different forms 
of person deixis

there's an earlier version in Zeitlyn, David. 1993. "Reconstructing 
Kinship or the pragmatics of kin talk."  Man 28 (2):199-224.


Hope this helps
