Abstract:

An oft-heard misconception about the grammatical category of person is that
the main division in this category is between first and second person on the
one hand and third person on the other. “First and second vs. third” is,
however, not the only pattern regarding person that can be found in the
languages of the word. It all depends on the topic that is investigated.
Topics investigated in this dissertation include vocatives, imperatives,
argument marking, binding, quantifiers, evidentiality, number, identity shift
and sign language.

Furthermore, these person patterns fall into two classes: 1) rigid patterns,
which are universal and deal with speech-act participants directly; and 2)
person hierarchies, which allow for variation between languages and deal with
the grammatical category of person. This division shows that it is important
to determine for each topic whether it deals with speech-act participants
(speaker, addressee and other) or person (inclusive, first, second and third
person).
