In LIS, arguments may also be produced as pronouns. Within this category, we can find personal pronouns (LEXICON 3.7.2), demonstrative pronouns (LEXICON 3.7.1), possessive pronouns (LEXICON 3.7.3), and reflexive pronouns (LEXICON 3.7.4). The examples below illustrate a personal pronoun (a) and a demonstrative pronoun (b) argument.
