Definition in Auslan
As a Noun
1. In grammar, a word that is used to replace a noun or the name for someone that has already been mentioned. For example, in “Mary is having a birthday party on Friday. She will be 21.” the word ‘she’ is a pronoun; in “The birthday party will be on Friday. It will be a surprise.”, the word ‘it’ is a pronoun. In Auslan, you usually use pointing signs instead. English = pronoun
