- This monograph contains an original proposal on the workings of the category 'person' in natural language and shows that this proposal has significant consequences for theories on the architecture of grammar. The work has an unusually wide scope. It tracks the consequences of a specific proposal on the feature system underlying the category 'person' for all modules of grammar in which that category plays a role. It shows that the proposed feature system has explanatory power in semantics, syntax, morphology and to some extent even pragmatics.
