Features: This book primarily discusses the pronouns of the Southern Hunan dialect. Based on hand-collected materials from 29 survey points in 12 counties and districts, it provides a comprehensive and systematic description, analysis, and summary of the personal, demonstrative, and interrogative pronouns of the dialect. It argues the close and distant relationships between the pronouns of the Southern Hunan dialect and other Chinese dialects and minority languages, and preliminarily predicts the historical evolution process of the pronouns in the Southern Hunan dialect. It is an excellent work in linguistics.
