Probing the evolution of the grammar, semantic and pragmatic functions of pronominal systems, this volume opens a window on societies in transition.
It draws together analyses of empirical research, policy-driven change and practical usage to consider the socio-cultural and grammatical consequences of pronominal changes across nine Indo-European and Finno-Ugric languages. Contributors examine how address and reference norms are changing with respect to social relationships governed by rules of politeness and propriety, and how grammatical and natural genders collide when ideologies or policies interfere with long-established grammatical norms that are irrelevant to biological categories.
