Cysouw, The Paradigmatic Structure of Person Marking (2003) #

A person paradigm is a closed set of markers filling one syntagmatic slot, and its paradigmatic structure is which of its cells share a morpheme. Cysouw replaces the person × number grid by eight referential categories, the three singular participants and the five attested groups 1+2, 1+2+3, 1+3, 2+3 and 3+3, and reads a paradigm's structure off three kinds of homophony among them: singular, horizontal (a singular with a group) and vertical (two groups). The three 'we' categories admit fifteen patterns of specialized marking, of which ten are attested, five common and five rare; the common five obey the addressee inclusion implications (3.23) and (3.24), which, read as conditions, nest along the four questions of his Fig. 3.10 into the First Person Hierarchy (3.26). Chapter 4 surveys the structures of the whole grid, names the common and semi-common ones after exemplar languages, and states two generalizations over them: horizontal homophony spreads along the person hierarchy from the third person upwards, the Horizontal Homophony Hierarchies (4.106) and (4.107), and a paradigm gives up its oppositions in a fixed order, the first person complex first and singular person last, the Explicitness Hierarchy (4.108).

A paradigmatic structure is a setoid on the eight categories, the syncretism of a paradigm's cell-to-form map. The kinds of homophony, the 'we' pattern and both hierarchies are properties of that setoid, and every paradigm printed in chapters 3 and 4 is checked against the book's own classification and generalizations, with the exceptions the book names: Binandere against (3.23), the rare 'we' patterns against (3.24), the English pronouns and a few others against the horizontal hierarchy, and the European singular homophonies and the paradigms with vertical homophony under an inclusive/exclusive opposition against the explicitness hierarchy.

                    Horizontal homophony holds within a person and, in one person, entails it in every less prominent person, so it appears first in the third person, then the second, then the first ((4.106), (4.107)); diagonal homophony is among the exceptions (§4.7).
