==Grammar==
 
Pronouns ''(antōnymía)'' are listed as one of eight parts of speech in ''The Art of Grammar'',<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronoun#Grammar</ref> a treatise on Greek grammar attributed to Dionysius Thrax and dating from the 2nd century BC. The pronoun is described there as "a part of speech substitutable for a noun and marked for a person." Pronouns continued to be regarded as a part of speech in Latin grammar (the Latin term being ''pronomen'', from which the English name – through Middle French – ultimately derives), and thus in the European tradition generally.
 
   
 
==History==
In more modern approaches, pronouns are less likely to be considered to be a single word class, because of the many different syntactic roles that they play, as represented by the various different types of pronouns listed in the previous sections.

Unlike other facets of queer identity, pronoun flags at large don't follow any real common convention. Flags for pronouns vary wildly in design, number of stripes, and symbols used. A pronoun flag format called "pronoun path" is used by Tumblr user mothpride. This refers to a specific design of flag that uses two overlapping stripes, with each flag being unaligned with any identity, just pronouns. The first example of this format being used was posted November 10th, 2020, and the term "pronoun path" was first used in another post the same day.<ref>https://archive.is/Da1c8</ref>

Exipronoun, paleopronoun, archpronoun, or trad pronoun is a term to refer to the "standard" existing pronoun sets of a language. They are a complement to the concept of neopronouns. English's exipronouns are he/him, she/her, and they/them, as well as it/its (though some people may consider "it" a neopronoun, since it's not standard usage when referring to a person).

Pronunciation

History

The term exipronoun was coined by Tumblr user Anicrossic on 30 June, 2020, and trad pronoun was coined by trans-kayn on the same post[1]. The term archpronoun was coined by Tumblr user carbonated-neon on 15 August, 2019[2], and paleopronoun was coined by lgbtqiarchive on the same post the next day[3].

Misgendering

See main article: Misgendering

Using the incorrect pronouns for someone when you are aware of their pronouns is misgendering[4]. Misgendering is an act of erasure and transphobia, which has been linked to mental health struggles and suicide[5]. The U.S. Transgender Survey states that 54% of those living with unsupportive families, where their family members may misgender them, had attempted suicide within their lifetime. 37% of those with supportive families had attempted suicide at some point of their lives.[6]

Flags

An exipronoun flag was created by Tumblr user the-gender-collector-emself on 2 July, 2020[7]. In it, the stripes each represent a different pronoun set: blue represents he/him, purple represents she/her, green represents it/its, and yellow represents they/them. Orange represents people who use a combination of these pronouns.
