A part of the data presented in the study has been taken from my PhD thesis written in 2009. New data were collected from the field in 2012 and added to the study. The Study follows a descriptive method, therefore, showing no argumentation. The study reveals the structure and functions of the Soqotri rich pronominal system. It shows that the three Soqotri dialects (Eastern Soqotri Dialect, Central Soqotri Dialect and Western Soqotri Dialect) have personal pronouns, possessive pronouns, demonstrative pronoun, reflexive pronouns, reciprocal pronouns, relative pronouns and interrogative pronouns. It also shows that these pronouns are usually of two types (independent and dependent) inflecting for person, number and gender.展开更多

One of the meanings of universal grammar is as the following. It stands for universal grammar"the system of principles,conditions, and that are elements of all human language …the essence of the human language."The Binding Theory is one of theprinciples in the universal grammar.As one of the human language, French is well-known by its specially rigorous grammar. Thepronominal form is one of the grammar phenomenon of French. The speciality makes this grammar phenomenon a proper materialfor the analysis of the Binding Theory. This thesis will analyze the Binding Theory from the perspective of the pronominal form. Theexamples will be selected and analyzed in the thesis, and the limitation of the Binding Theory, the potential reasons which causesthe limitation, and the significance of the limitation will be analyzed. The meticulous analysis on the examples of the pronominalform from the perspective of the Binding Theory will help people in deepening the understanding and arouse further study in theuniversal grammar.展开更多
