DISTRIBUTIVE PRONOUNS


[Sidenote: _Definition and examples._]


134. The DISTRIBUTIVE PRONOUNS are those which stand for the names

of persons or things considered singly.


[Sidenote: _Simple._]


Some of these are _simple_ pronouns; for example,--


They stood, or sat, or reclined, as seemed good to _each_.


As two yoke devils sworn to _other's_ purpose.


Their minds accorded into one strain, and made delightful music

which _neither_ could have claimed as all his own.


[Sidenote: _Compound_.]


Two are compound pronouns,--_each other_, _one another_. They may be

separated into two adjective pronouns; as,


We violated our reverence _each_ for _the other's_ soul.

--HAWTHORNE.


More frequently they are considered as one pronoun.


They led one another, as it were, into a high pavilion of their

thoughts.--HAWTHORNE.


Men take each other's measure when they react.--EMERSON.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude

Christo and Jeanne-Claude are a husband-and-wife team famous for creating large-scale environmental art installations around the world.

Their works include the wrapping of Berlin's Reichstag building, the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris, and, recently, The Gates in New York City's Central Park. How did they fund the $21 million New York project? More... Discuss

First Electric Traffic Light Is Installed (1914)

Prior to 1914, there had been several attempts to create automobile traffic signals similar to those used by railroads, but it was only after a four-way electric signal was installed in Cleveland, Ohio, that the modern traffic light system began to take root. The signal had only two colors, green and red, but the three-color version still in use today was not far off. What US city claims to be home to the oldest working traffic light in the country?
