First and second person pronouns are called local pronouns as they refer to the persons in the local context: the speaker and the hearer. Local pronouns thus encode the two key roles in face-to-face communication. Their main usage lies in the direct interaction between the participants in a conversation. In this workshop we want to discuss research on the distribution, meaning, and use of local pronouns, in the hope that it can give us more insight in how the local communicative context influences grammar. In addition to local pronouns in spoken languages, we are especially interested in contributions dealing with pronouns in sign languages. After all, signed languages appear to be ultimately suited for direct interaction between the signer and the addressee, and have been argued to have rather different pronominal paradigms. Interpreters from English to ASL and from ASL to English are present at all times.
