INDO-EUROPEAN PERSONAL PRONOUNS: LIMITS OF THEIR INTERNAL RECONSTRUCTION

AbstractAfter our first study in the field of Indo-European personal pronouns (Dokalov & Blaek 2010, 2011), where we focused on their paradigmatic levelling, we now consider internal reconstructions of partial microsystems of first and second person pronouns in all individual branches, projecting them back to the late Indo-European protolanguage. The next step was reconstruction of the primary pro-nominal protosystem, allowing us both to deduce forms of pronouns in historically attested lan-guages and to understand pronominal-verbal congruence, assumed as the axiomatic starting point.

KeywordsIndo-European; personal pronouns; internal reconstruction; paradigmatic levelling; pronominal-verbal congruence.

In the present study we describe declension of the personal pronouns of the first and second persons in all Indo-European branches, try to reconstruct pronominal subsystems in these branches, and to determine archaisms and innovations, both in root formations and in case endings, and we aim to explain relations between personal pronouns and verbal personal endings.

1) The loss of voicing probably under the influence of the 1st person pl. pronoun *mes. 2) Apparently contamination of the original acc. *men and the o-grade ablaut form *mano. 3) The a-vocalism in the East Baltic genitive was probably caused by influence of possessives tavas & savas with the regular change of the sequence -ava- < *-eua-.

The formation exsetesi is segmented in *g-s-e-tesi-(e)s or -(e)t (Lambert 2001, 95; Schrijver 2001, 13941: IE *H1eih-). 3) Probably originated in analogy see Sihler 1995, 475. 4) See Szemernyi 1996, 329.

Assuming the original correspondence between the personal pronouns and verbal personal endings, the following conclusions may be formulated: (1) The best agreement appears in the first person sg. indicated by [*]m and *-oH2 (thematic conjugation) corresponding to the oblique cases and the nominative sg. *H1eoH2 I respectively. (2) In the 1st person pl. the dominant indicator *-me- ~ *-mo- implies the corre-sponding pronoun *mes (or *nsmes?). (3) The forms of the 1st person pl. derivable from *uei- correspond only with the dual endings of the fist person and originally were probably limited only to the dual. But in the second person the situation is more complex. (4) The s/t-distinction, reflected in the active vs. stative singular endings, has asurprising analogy in the independent personal pronouns of plural of the type *sues vs. singular of the type *t. Existence of the singular counterpart of *sues may be deduced from the active verbal ending *-s(i). This implies a hypothetical sup-pletive paradigm in the second person singular, represented by the minimal op-position of nom. *s[i] vs. obl. *tueo. Their hypothetical plural counterparts could be reconstructed as *sies and *tues, later merged into *sues. These three forms allow us to explain both the pecularities of some forms of the 2nd person plural pronouns of the type (a) *is/*ios; (b) *us/*us/*uso, and verbal endings of the type *-dhue < *dhue(s)dhH2 < *tue(s)dhH2 (see above), or the asymme-try in the primary active endings *-mesi/*-mosi vs. *te (the ending *-tesi is attested only in Gaulish). Let us stress that with respect to the final *-i in the primary end-ings *-mi, *-si, *-ti, *-nti of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd sg. and 3rd pl. respectively, it is natural to expect the same termination in the remaining endings of the 1st & 2nd pl., hence
