#neopronoun

cake/cakeself, paw/pawself etc; are a neopronoun, specifically a nounpronoun.

🌽/🌽self, 🍋🧁/🍋🧁self etc; are a neopronoun, specifically an emojipronoun -> symbol pronouns are similar ie: ☆/☆self (pt: star symbol/star symbol self).

xy/xyr, e/em etc; are a neopronoun, specifically an aliuspronoun. coining name for the word found here (link).

hx/hxm, shy/shyr etc; are neopronoun, specifically a revoxpronoun. revoxpronominal as official coining name found here (link).

the sound burning stars make, a word the human vocal cords cant make, etc; are a neopronoun, but specifically a xenopronoun. more info found here (link).

he, she, they, it; not a neopronoun, specifically exipronoun. coining of name found here (link). -> people debate on it/its because of how old it is in history, but also how it isn't socially at large seen as a valid pronoun outside of insult contexts.

xenopronoun is under neopronoun as a concept. but xenopronoun does not mean any of the other terms above. xenopronoun is defined as "not being able to be understood by humans and/or expressed through human language. theoretical examples of xenopronouns include; prns that involve concepts that humans do not have words for. prns whose meanings cannot be translated into any human language (hypothetical in mind). prns through movements that would be impossible for humans to make, if signed. prns that include sounds that would be impossible for humans to make, if spoken, etc" phrased from the wikipedia.

many people mistake xenopronouns as the other pronouns categories above, especially nouns. but that is not the case.

this has been "what are pronouns??" from mwe, if theres other categories, i don't personally know them but would love to learn! - the yearning wife

@radiomogai :> helpful resource post so figured you& wouldn't mind the tag!

adding this to the original post for extra information!

Hi! Do you use nounpronouns (i.e. pronouns such as flower/flowerself or 🌸/🌸-self, stemming from a noun), aliuspronouns (such as xe/xir, which differ from the canonical pronouns she/he/they/it, and do not fall under the umbrella of nounpronouns), or both? Are you 18 years or older and would you like to add to the scientific/linguistic understanding we have of these types of pronouns?

With my current paper I attempt to gain more understanding as to why people use these pronouns, and in which contexts they are used! The survey won't take more than 15 minutes to complete, and can be done in your own time! 🥰

There are three different surveys:

Individuals who only use nounpronouns and not aliuspronouns, click here: https://uva.fra1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eOSpls9MfrUeyaO

Individuals who only use aliuspronouns and not nounpronouns, click here: https://uva.fra1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_82ZibuKreDmnIFM

Individuals who use both, click here: https://uva.fra1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eJSSRoCDKHRZZaK

Uhhhhh so yeah we know a shit ton of languages though we're only fully fluent in like 3-4ish we just study the rest sometimes... but we realized we never actually know what pronouns I prefer in other languages unlike english were we already use neutral and neopronouns.

Other multilinguals or natives of any of these languages pls correct us or smth if I got any pronoun sets wrong I'm like 80% sure we made mistake(s) throwing this togther quickly

It was fun to go through and see how we just refuse to be constant with our pronouns lol.
