Usage of Possessive Pronouns which are Co-referential with the Subject

Summary/Abstract: In this supplement we undertook research on the use of possessive pronouns which are co-referential with the subject. We were interested in the relation of competition that holds between the possessive pronoun of each person (svoj) and possessive pronouns that carry the distinction of a particular person (moj, tvoj. .. ) in everyday linguistic practice. The skeleton outline of our research was a poll carried out among students. The poll showed that the competition between these two kinds of pronouns is noticeable, especially with plural subjects. This research has also enabled us to draw conclusions at the end about the conditions which are favorable for the spread of possessive pronouns that carry the distinction of a particular person on account of the possessive pronoun of each person.
