| description | Various interesting processes of grammaticalisation can be observed in the pronominal systems of the Burmese-Lobo languages. There are many innovative denominal or de-demonstrative pronoun stems. On the whole, third person pronouns are the least stable; this is also true of Tibeto-Burman in general. Diachronically they tend to be derived from demonstratives. Replacement first and second person pronouns are mostly denominal; the first person pronouns tend to belittle the self, while the replacement second person pronouns tend conversely to aggrandise or honour their referent. Reflexive pronouns derive mainly from nouns meaning 'body, with or without other associated pronouns. |
