SUMMARY
‘The History of the Demonstrative Pronoun sjá’
Keywords: historical morphology, language change, declension, analogy
The Old Icelandic demonstrative pronoun sjá ‘this’ had 3 genders, 2 numbers and 4
cases and there were a few altemative forms. The paradigm was the result of a com-
plicated prehistory where e.g. two types of deictic particles, the strong declension of
adjectives and the declension of the demonstrative pronoun sá played a part. The
paradigm of the oldest Icelandic manuscripts is presented in table 1. It is, perhaps, not
surprising that it has proved unstable. Several earlier observations on the chronolog-
ical development of sjá are summarized in fig. 1.
A collection of examples from a number of texts is presented here to illustrate the
development of the declension of this pronoun, but the comparative rarity of exam-
ples presents a considerable difficulty. An attempt is made to provide a more accurate
chronology and especially to explain the changes of the paradigm. The chronological
