The Pronoun of Address in English Literature of the Thirteenth Century (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Pronoun of Address in English Literature of the Thirteenth Century I realize that my plan of giving as far as possible the exact number of occurrences of forms and constructions may Show more plainly to the observant reader things that I have overlooked. Moreover it may seem at times to lay too much stress upon forms which are probably mere scribal or editorial errors. Nevertheless, the conclusions that can be drawn from definite statements, when those statements are reasonably accurate, as I hope all will be found to be, are so much more satisfactory than mere general statements that I have ventured to give my findings largely in statistical form.

What's Your Pronoun?: Beyond He and She


Book Description

“If you want to know why more people are asking ‘what’s your pronoun?’ then you (singular or plural) should read this book.” —Joe Moran, New York Times Book Review Heralded as “required reading” (Geoff Nunberg) and “the book” (Anne Fadiman) for anyone interested in the conversation swirling around gender-neutral and nonbinary pronouns, What’s Your Pronoun? is a classic in the making. Providing much-needed historical context and analysis to the debate around what we call ourselves, Dennis Baron brings new insight to a centuries-old topic and illuminates how—and why—these pronouns are sparking confusion and prompting new policies in schools, workplaces, and even statehouses. Enlightening and affirming, What’s Your Pronoun? introduces a new way of thinking about language, gender, and how they intersect.
