Abstract | The need for an ungendered singular form of the anaphoric pronoun in U.S. English is demonstrated, then an attempt is made to predict its phonological shape. Also discussed are current linguistic inclinations in this area, as well as obstacles to change in a grammatical category ordinarily unamenable to change. (35 References) (JL) |
