Drawing on data from over five hundred languages, this textbook by Anna Siewierska compares the use of person within and across different languages, and examines the factors underlying variation. Siewierska demonstrates how person forms vary in substance, in the nature of the semantic distinctions they convey, such as gender, number, and case, and in their use in sentences and discourse. The textbook covers the grammatical category of person, which includes the first person, the second person, and the third person.
