Abstract

This paper concerns the description of logophors in Ibibio, a Lower-Cross language spoken in southern Nigeria. Logophors are grammatical forms used in reference to the person in a sentence whose point of view is being reported (Clements 1975). In Ibibio, these appear as both individual pronouns as well as agreement marking on the embedded tense and verbs.
