Examining the properties of these items, we argue against the phi-feature based accounts of person licensing. Instead, we re-conceptualize it as a syntactico-semantic phenomenon, which requires a pronominal to be contextually-anchored via a feature labeled [F]. More globally, this paper attempts to work out the special status of person and articulate why person requires special licensing in grammar.}, doi = {10.4467/23005920SPL.19.004.10984}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/studies-in-polish-linguistics/article/3rd-person-needs-licensing-too-examining-the-se-suu-connection} }
