Problem with the section on case
[edit]The section on case says
"French se is used to express reflexivity for every expression of the third person, regardless of gender or person."
This is contradictory. Se is only used with third person, so it's not "regardless of person." Maybe a better example would be South Slavic svoj or Mandarin ziji which are actually used for all persons?
(also there's a mismatch between "themselves" in the text and "theirselves" in the table earlier in the section)
Faulty English case diagram?
[edit]In section Case, the table of English personal pronouns uses the archaic form "theirselves" and has an empty cell (should have "its") in the "it" row.
In this table, 3rd-person male is bolded for being irregular, but in modern English, the pattern of basing the reflexive form on the accusative is shared between all 3rd-person personal pronouns.--85.81.43.69 (talk) 15:50, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
Edits and Content Addition
[edit]Hello, all. I am part of a group and we will be providing structural edits and adding new content to this page over the next several weeks mostly focused on the Locus of Phi Features section. This is part of a course-based activity of a 3rd year syntax course, and we anticipate having completed our edits by the end of December. We would appreciate any and all constructive comments and suggestions about how to improve the overall quality of this article. Thank you! Ophiuchus-Serpens (talk) 22:35, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
