Abstract
Personal pronouns are deictic referents which are used based on their surrounding context, the role of the speakers, their intentions, and other factors. Pronouns also play a role in placing the speaker within a language community, and they help the speaker express notions such as solidarity and individuality. This thesis takes a pragmatic approach towards analyzing how personal pronouns are used in order to form a sense of community or express individuality in J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring. The analysis is performed on selected dialogues, among the nine members of the Fellowship, which include multiple occurrences of the first person singular and plural pronouns in various context and with different aims. The aim of this paper is to show how referents from the same category can play multiple roles when it comes to constructing community and individuality, based on their surrounding context and the speakers’ intentions.
