A note on the history of the term “pronomenalisation”
Randy J. LaPolla | Nanyang Technological University
This short note discusses the origin and development of the use
of the term “pronomenalisation” (pronominalization) in Sino-Tibetan linguistics, pointing out that the concept was originally a typological one, and that the
phenomenon was seen as the result of grammaticalization, i.e. the free pronouns
being copied onto the verb.
Keywords: Sino-Tibetan linguistics, Tibeto-Burman linguistics, pronominalization, person marking, verb agreement, typological features vs. genetic features
