3.7.2. Personal pronouns
Personal pronouns are used in place of nouns to refer to animate or inanimate entities. In LIS, they are typically realised as pointing signs articulated with G handshape. Such signs can be pointed toward present referents (deictic use) or toward loci in the signing space that have previously been associated with absent referents (anaphoric use).
Personal pronouns in LIS can incorporate grammatical features, such as person, number, clusivity, case, and logophoricity.
In some cases, LIS admits the possibility to omit personal pronouns. For more details, the reader is referred to the section on null arguments (SYNTAX 2.4).
