Abstract

Two properties keep the personal pronouns of the Romance Languages apart from their Latin counterparts. On the one hand, every Romance Language has a series of clitics morphologically independent from their tonic pairs. On the other hand, the personal pronouns of the Romance Languages reach the last stages of a drift that leads to the complete syncretism of most of their paradigms. An indispensable tool to compare the pronominal systems of any of the Romance Languages is their paradigmatic index, which is the number of tonic forms per paradigm. To identify the type of every Romance variety, a combination of the first four grammatical persons is necessary. In this paper we study the margins of variation of the pronominal systems of the Romance Languages as a play which is all about finding the right algorithm able to recognize all the main types of system for any Romance variety with the fewest possible questions about the paradigmatic indices of their grammatical persons.
