This paper discusses two morphologically related anaphoric pronouns in Avar (Avar-Andic, Nakh-Daghestanian) and proposes that one of them should be treated as a minimal pronoun that receives its interpretation from a k-operator situated on a phasal head whereas the other is a logophoric pronoun denoting the author of the reported event.Studia Linguistica 71(1-2) 2017, pp. 154-177.1 The romanisation I adopt here differs very slightly from that in Yamada (2013). To avoid confusion, the Roman-to-Cyrillic correspondences are as follows, where the apostrophe represents ejectivity:The romanisation above is similar to the orthography of Standard Avar in not making a distinction between the lateral affricate, and the lateral fricative, which itself can be strong and weak, all of which are standardly written as лъ, or ł in the system adopted here. Yakov Testelets (p.c.) notes, however, that these distinctions have neutralised in most dialects. Finally, such processes as glide formation are only rendered in those cases where they are reflected orthographically in the original spelling. 2 The present paper uses the following abbreviations in glosses: 1 = First person, ABL = ablative, ABS = absolutive, ACC = accusative, CAUS = causative, CM = class marker, CNJ=conjunction, COMP = complementizer, CVB = converb, DAT = dative, ERG = ergative, F = feminine, FUT = future, GEN = genitive, INESS = inessive, INF = negative, LOC = locative, LOG = logophoric, M = masculine, MSD = masdar, N = neuter, NEG = negative, NOM = nominative, OBL = oblique, PFV = perfective, PL = plural, PRS = present, PST = past, PTCP = participle, Q = question particle, SG=singular, TOP = topic.
