LOGOPHORIC PRONOUNS AND POINT-OF-VIEW

Logophoric pronouns are pronouns used to refer to the person whose wor ds, thoughts, or emotions are being represented. In addition to reflex ives that can be used logophorically (''indirect'' reflexives), some l anguages have morphologically distinct logophoric pronouns. The analys is of logophoricity has focused on indirect reflexives and on their us e to convey a particular point of view. However, morphologically disti nct logophoric pronouns are typically used in indirect discourse. In t his paper if is shown that logophoricity and point of view are distinc t phenomena by examining morphologically distinct logophoric pronouns, and showing that they are primarily indirect-discourse forms and usua lly do not represent point of view at all. Indirect reflexives and mor phologically distinct logophoric pronouns have several parallels, but most importantly, they both have a primary use (clausal conference and indirect-discourse marker respectively), with the representation of p oint of view being only a secondary use.
