Abstract

This paper analyses the four types of personal pronouns (deictic, anaphoric,
bound and descriptive pronouns) that we came across during a research conducted for
the project “The role of explicit instruction in developing pragmatic competence in
learning English and German as a foreign language”, which is underway at the Faculty
of Philology, University Goce Delchev in Stip.
We perform our analysis using theories and definitions from the field of
pragmatics in its widest sense, which is based on many diverse approaches united by a
common functional (social, cultural, cognitive) perspective on language in
communication, i.e. the pragmalinguistics (linguistic pragmatics, pragmatic linguistics,

internal pragmatics) and focuses primarily on the study of linguistic phenomena (i.e.
code) involving meaning, utterance and the context. We try to analyse personal
pronouns from the point of view of their usage, since it is not easy to distinguish what is
exactly referred to with a certain personal pronoun on the one hand, and on the other
hand, it is very complex to capture the unsystematic image that draws the attention of
all grammarians.
The referential and the implicit meaning of the pronoun in the practice of
communication is not always clear, and it is inevitably advisable to pay attention to it in
the classroom, in the process of teaching and learning foreign languages.
Key words: meaning, pragmatic linguistics, pronouns, usage.
