Re: Hello again, and a syntax question

Dans un courrier dat=E9 du 29/03/99 14:59:56  , Chlewey a =E9crit :

<< Actually Chleweyish has one resumptive pronoun (don't know if the
 name is correct) _yor_, which will refere to the subject of the previous
 sentence, and four "spacial" pronouns that are asigned ad {gua} and refer=
ed
 as {gol}. >>

I like that. My Shan language also has a few resumptive pronouns referring=
 to

'the latter word'
'the latter topic'
'the latter clause'
'the verb of the latter clause'
'the former clause'
'the next clause'

Actually I was surprised that I could handle this system quite well althou=
gh I
thought this was very unnatural at first sight. I think it's due to the fa=
ct
that our 'brain' is trained to constantly retro-analysing the speech we he=
ar
or express.
