Question

These words’ property of clusivity allows many Asian languages to distinguish between inclusive and exclusive types of them. (20[4])A 2020 book (20[1])by Dennis (20[1])Baron titled for these words describes (20[1])how a now-common (20[1])usage of them (20[1])was frequently (20[1])employed by Shakespeare. (20[6])A (20[1])“reform” (20[1])named for one of these (20[1])words (20[1]0[1])in 1960s (0[1])Sweden replaced a system that primarily depended on using the word ni. An epicene one of these words was chosen (20[1]0[1])in 2019 as (*) Merriam-Webster’s (10[1])word (10[1])of the year. Stressed forms of these (0[1])words used in isolation are called “disjunctive.” These words are used in different contexts (10[1])depending on formality according to the T-V (10[1])distinction, such as how (10[1])French uses “vous” (10[1])(“voo”) and “tu.” (10[2])For 10 points, (10[1])name these words whose English third-person forms (10[1])include “he,” “she,” (10[1])and “they.” (10[1])■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: pronouns [accept first-person (personal) pronouns or third-person (personal) pronouns or disjunctive pronouns; prompt on nouns] (The second line refers to how Shakespeare used the singular they. The Swedish reform is the du-reformen.)
