pronoun
意味: A word that takes the place of a noun or noun phrase, used to avoid repetition and simplify sentences, such as 'he,' 'they,' 'it,' 'who,' and 'myself.'
Pronouns are one of the few word classes in English that retain case distinctions (e.g., 'I' vs 'me' vs 'my'). They are subdivided into personal, possessive, reflexive, demonstrative, interrogative, relative, and indefinite pronouns. In contemporary discourse, pronoun usage has taken on social significance in relation to gender identity and inclusive language.
