By “personal reference” is meant the grammatical + description of nouns by abbreviated forms of reference. In most languages, this + is accomplished by means of personal pronouns (e.g., English he, she, it, I, + you, him, her, mine, ours, etc.). Generally, personal pronouns are distinguished + by “person” (1st, 2nd , or 3rd) and case (e.g., compare English + we, us, and ours). Ithkuil accomplishes the equivalent function by means of + personal reference adjuncts, of which there are two types: single-referent and + dual-referent. </p> +<p align="justify">Like all adjuncts in Ithkuil, personal reference adjuncts are + highly synthetic in their structure, comprised of at least two morphemes and + usually more. Before we examine the componential structure of personal reference + adjuncts themselves, we must first introduce the personal reference categories + they refer to. </p> +<h3 align="justify"><br> + 8.1.1 Personal Reference Categories<a name="Sec8o1o1"></a></h3> +<p align="justify">The morpho-semantic delineations of Ithkuil personal reference + categorization are based on inclusion or exclusion in relation to an utterance. + These delineations begin with identifying whether or not the party speaking + is included or excluded in relation to the utterance.

These terms were discussed in detail in <a href="ithkuil-ch3-morphology.htm">Sec. + 3.3</a> on Perspective.

These terms refer respectively to the party + speaking (in Western grammar the first person), the party being spoken to (the + second person), and a third party being considered or mentioned (the third person). + Unlike the standard six-person matrix common in Western grammar (the three persons + divided into singular and plural), Ithkuil divides personal reference along + logical lines of inclusion versus exclusion in the speaker’s utterance. +</p> +<p align="justify">From the viewpoint of Ithkuil grammar, only a single individual + can speak. Even if there are two or more persons speaking the same utterance + simultaneously it is but a collection of single individuals, each of which is + one speaker. Therefore, the “first person” of Ithkuil, the speaker, + can be only <font size="2">MONADIC</font>, never <font size="2">UNBOUNDED</font>. + Thus, in Ithkuil, there is no true equivalent to the word “we,” + since inherent in the various categories which translate “we” is + the concept of “I plus some other entity or entities.” From this + we can begin to see how it is the idea of inclusion or exclusion in the speaker’s + utterance that determines the various personal reference categories.</p> +<p align="justify">The “second person” in Ithkuil is the addressee, + the person(s) being addressed or spoken to. There can be one addressee, or more + than one addressee, i.e., <font size="2">MONADIC</font> or <font size="2">UNBOUNDED</font>.</p> +<p align="justify">The “third person” in Ithkuil is where things get + very complicated, in that a party being referenced who is not the speaker or + the addressee can have many distinctions, including the presence or absence + of animacy, being <font size="2">MONADIC</font> versus <font size="2">UNBOUNDED</font>, + being referred to as a collective entity, being an intangible abstraction, being + indefinite, being an impersonal generic reference, or being a combination of + two or more of these categories.

This is as it sounds. As we saw in earlier chapters, + particularly <a href="ithkuil-ch4-case.htm">Sec. 4.1</a>, several + important morphological categories in Ithkuil are dependent on whether the party + to the act, condition, or event is a living entity or inanimate.

It is possible for the third + party being referenced to be two or more entities of different natures. For + example a speaker could make reference to “I, you, and they” where + “they” consists of a group consisting of one person (i.e., a monadic + animate entity), three boxes (i.e., a polyadic inanimate entity), and an intangible + concept such as ‘happiness’ (i.e., an abstract entity).

This corresponds to the <font size="2">NOMIC</font> + Perspective in which a noun can be spoken of as a generic collective. For example, + the word ‘dog’ in the sentence <em>The dog is a noble beast</em> + refers to all dogs in a collective sense, not any dog in particular.

This corresponds to the <font size="2">ABSTRACT</font> + perspective, equivalent to derivational abstract forms such as English nouns + ending with -<em>hood</em>, -<em>ness</em>, etc. In Ithkuil, all nouns can be + spoken of in this abstract sense (e.g., <em>“bookhood”</em> = the + sense of being or functioning as a book), and the personal reference system + provides affixes for this category whose form again depends on what other entities + are included in the context of the utterance.</p> +<p align="justify"><strong><a name="Sec8o1o1o7"></a>8.1.1.7 <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20090608235027id_/http:/www.ithkuil.net/Images/Ch%208/8-1-1-7.gif" width="31" height="20" align="absbottom"> + Obviative (4th Person) Reference</strong>. This category has no equivalent in + Western languages, although it is found in various Native American languages. + It refers to a third party referent other than one previously mentioned, which + would otherwise be identically marked. In Native American grammatical treatises, + this category is usually termed the obviative or “fourth” person. + For example, the English sentence <em>He saw his book</em> is ambiguous because + we are uncertain whether ‘he’ and ‘his’ refer to the + same person or to two different persons (i.e., one who did the seeing and another + who owns the book). In Ithkuil, no such ambiguity occurs because the latter + third person referent, if a distinct person from the initial third person referent, + would be marked using the <font size="2">OBVIATIVE</font>, not the third person. + This disambiguation of third person referents is the purpose of the <font size="2">OBVIATIVE</font>. + Its translation into English is therefore dependent on a preceding personal + referent. (See <a href="#Sec8o1o4">Sec. 8.1.4</a> below for more information + about the <font size="2">OBVIATIVE</font>).</p> +<p align="justify"><strong>8.1.1.8 <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20090608235027id_/http:/www.ithkuil.net/Images/Ch%208/8-1-1-8a.gif" width="28" height="20" align="absbottom"> + Indefinite Reference</strong>.

This category corresponds to the German pronoun + <em>man</em> or French pronoun <em>on</em>, as well as the various circumlocutions + used in English to describe impersonal reference (e.g., ‘one,’ ‘you,’ + ‘they,’ the passive voice, and certain usages of ‘someone’). + Such impersonal reference is illustrated in the following English sentences:</p> +<blockquote> +<p align="justify"><em><strong>·</strong> <strong>One</strong> should + never speak to clowns alone.<br> + <strong>·</strong> To dance the tango <strong>you</strong> need a partner.<br> + <strong>·</strong> <strong>They</strong> say it never rains in August.<br> + <strong>·</strong> That town <strong>is said</strong> to be haunted.<br> + <strong>·</strong> She just wants to talk to <strong>someone</strong> + without being criticized.</em></p> +</blockquote> +<p align="justify"><strong>8.1.1.11 Inclusivity vs. Exclusivity</strong>. Since + Ithkuil personal reference adjuncts are designed to specify who among the speaker, + addressee(s), and any third party is included or excluded in the context of + the utterance, there are many possible personal reference distinctions possible + in Ithkuil for which English has no equivalent pronouns.

Unlike other -V<font size="1">3</font>C + suffixes, there are no -V<font size="1">1</font>C or -V<font size="1">2</font>C + counterparts to these suffixes (or rather, the -V<font size="1">1</font>C or + -V<font size="1">2</font>C counterparts have completely different meanings and + uses).
