Annotation
This study demonstrates that use of Ancient Greek personal pronouns (PPs) differs according to gender and context. Besides, it is obvious that in both Aristophanes’ comedies (i.e. Lysistrata and Ecclesiazusae) this variation ought to be chiefly accounted for as a pragmatic strategy of membership categorization, thus revealing instances of non-prototypical PPs uses equal to other languages (e.g. Spanish, English, Modern Greek).
