What is a global pronoun?

A "global pronoun" isn't a formally recognized grammatical term. It's likely a misunderstanding or a misnomer.

Here's why:

* Pronoun usage: Pronouns are typically used to refer to a specific noun (antecedent) previously mentioned in the text. They don't usually have a "global" scope.

* Grammatical terms: There are specific grammatical terms for different types of pronouns, such as:

* Personal pronouns: (I, you, he, she, it, we, they)

* Possessive pronouns: (mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs)

* Reflexive pronouns: (myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves)

* Demonstrative pronouns: (this, that, these, those)

What might be meant by "global pronoun"?

* A proposed pronoun for non-binary identities: Some people use "they/them" pronouns as a gender-neutral option, which could be interpreted as "global" in the sense of applying to everyone. However, this is not a formal grammatical concept and might be considered inaccurate or misleading.

* A term used in a specific context: It's possible that "global pronoun" is a term used within a specific field or community with a unique definition. Without more context, it's difficult to say for sure.

If you're interested in learning more about pronouns and their usage, I recommend checking out resources from reputable grammar websites or language dictionaries.
