forms used in recent literature, they are nevertheless considered part of Modern English. Kinship In English, kin terms like "mother," "uncle," "cousin" are a distinct word class from pronouns; however many Australian Aboriginal languages have more elaborated systems of encoding kinship in language including special kin forms of pronouns. In Murrinh-patha, for example, when selecting a nonsingular exclusive pronoun to refer to a group, the speaker will assess whether or not the members of the group belong to a common class of gender or kinship. If all of the members of the referent group are male, the MASCULINE form will be selected; if at least one is female, the FEMININE is selected, but if all the members are in a sibling-like kinship relation, a third SIBLING form is selected. In Arabana-Wangkangurru, the speaker will use entirely different sets of pronouns depending on whether the speaker and the referent are or are not in a common moiety. See the following example: See Australian Aboriginal kinship for more details. Special uses Some special uses of personal pronouns include: Generic you, where second person pronouns are used in an indefinite sense: You can't buy good old-fashioned bulbs these days. Generic they: In China they drive on the right. Gender non-specific uses, where a pronoun refers to a non-specific person or a person whose gender is not specified: English usage and acceptance varies (and has varied) regarding generic he and singular they, among others. A closely related usage is the singular they to refer to a person whose gender is specified as non-binary, genderqueer, or other, which has gained popularity in LGBTQ+ culture in particular. Vernacular usage of "yo" as a gender neutral pronoun has also been recorded among school students in Baltimore. Preferred gender pronoun selected to reflect gender identity Dummy pronouns (expletive pronouns), used to satisfy a grammatical requirement for a noun or pronoun, but contributing nothing to its meaning: It is raining. Royal we, used to refer to a single person who is a monarch: We are not amused. Nosism: The use of the pronoun we to refer to oneself. Resumptive pronouns, "intrusive" personal pronouns found (for example) in some relative clauses where a gap (trace) might be expected: This is the girl that I don't know what she said.
