This book investigates the use of English third person pronouns
(he, she, it) across different varieties of English, where we
frequently find he and she used for inanimate objects (the tree -
he, the house - he, the bucket - he, but the water - it). It is the
first book-length study of this subject. Varieties of English are
discussed in the context of Germanic and Romance languages and
dialects as well as a small sample of additional languages. The
analysis is conducted within the framework set out by functional
typology. The book's straightforward and illuminating
generalization in terms of the well known hierarchy of
individuation provides a systematic link between pronominal usage
in Standard English and its varieties.
