A call from @kirbyconrod for sociolinguists to go out and collect examples of third person pronouns in "natural" use so they can explore these four types of variation. How? Get people to talk about each other! I'm in(terested)! #LavLang25 #LavLang25

The four types of variation being known/unknown (pragmatic differences, relevance and quantity), friendly/hostile (affective uses), private/public (differences in social relationships) and real/fanciful (uses of in-group identity and solidarity). Exciting work! #LavLang25
