Abstract

The Erzya language has two sets of dative personal pronouns. Although the semantics are the same, there seems to be a discourse merit to the variation. This paper provides a brief presentation of the Prague School of V. Mathesius, F. Daneš and E. Hajičová with an analysis of some early Erzya writings according to Daneš's progression. The Erzya language has many sets of long and short personal pronouns, i.e. pronoun drop for nominative and genitive in favor of person indexing on the conjugated predicate or the possessum.
