Abstract

Personal pronouns of several European languages are re-demarcated and parametrized by means of their morphological, syntactic, and semantic features. A universal semantic representation of personal pronouns as vectors of few semantic components is proposed. The main semantic components are implied by syntactic features: grammatical person, number, and gender. The re- sults of parameterization are applied to morpho-syntactic and semantic agree- ment, translation of pronouns from one language to another, and disambigua- tion of several verbal constructions.
