Abstract
In Georgian, there are 10 groups of pronouns. The units comprising
each group have been defined by numerous Georgian scholars. In my
opinion, this classification requires further clarification regarding certain
cases. The paper focuses on personal and demonstrative pronouns.
ეს es, ეგ eg, ის is, იგი igi are viewed in the Georgian linguistic
literature on the one hand as III person pronouns, and, on the other
hand, as demonstrative ones. In my opinion, such classification creates
certain problems. Therefore, we should work out a different approach.
A. Arabuli does not consider the pronoun იგი igi as a demonstrative
pronoun (Arabuli, p. 242). I agree with this opinion. As for the pronouns
ეს es – ეგ eg – ის is, according to A. Arabuli and Z. Peikrishvili, they
serve as personal pronouns in collocation with verbs and as demonstrative
pronouns in collocation with nouns.
I share the opinion that in collocation with the noun ეს es – ეგ eg –
ის is act as demonstrative pronouns. However, in my opinion, even in
collocation with the verb, the pronouns ეს es and ეგ eg preserve their
demonstrative meaning, because their semantics always implies deixis
(denoting closeness to the first or second person). Due to this fact, I
argue that these pronouns should always be classified as demonstrative
pronouns.
As for the pronoun ის is, which is used in collocation with the verb,
in the absolute majority of cases, it acts as a personal pronoun. However,
in some contexts, it can perform the function of a demonstrative
pronoun; for instance: ან ეს მოვიდეს, ან ის an es movides an is
“either this one or that one should come”.
Thus, the pronoun ის is should be included in two different groups,
namely, it should be considered as a demonstrative pronoun in the
opposition: ეს es – ეგ eg – ის is “this –that”; and as a personal pronoun
in the opposition: მე me – შენ shen – ის is “I, you, he/she/it”.
