| Description | This chapter offers descriptive and historical-comparative approach to the pronominal system in the Transeurasian languages. After typological introduction, the main section focuses on tables with personal pronominal declension in Turkic (with several tables for different cases of main Turkic subgroups), Mongolic, Tungusic, Korean, Old Japanese and Ryukyu dialects. A conclusive part analyses reconstructed Proto-Transeurasian system of personal pronouns. The next section focuses on other types of pronouns, namely demonstrative, possessive (with enclitic forms and pronominal -n-), reflexive, interrogative, indefinite and negative pronouns. Brief sociolinguistic information is added about the nouns in the pronominal function. The final part mentions pronominal verbs and borrowed elements. |
