Pronouns as/with determiners: "we/you/%them pilots", "you all", "you two"

[nschneid]

I can't find an issue for this, though it came up in the Mischievous Nominals paper - example (5):

• We pilots deserve a pay raise
• You guys deserve a pay raise

Standardly, it is just "we/us" and "you" that do this, though dialectal variants are possible like "keep them lovely kebabs coming" (EWT).

Arguably, "we/you" are acting as determiners, making the nominal definite and adding person features. (This is the CGEL analysis.) EWT follows this analysis: EWT PRON-as-det

But this is rare, and annotators/users might be surprised to see (what look like) pronouns in det position.

GUM has dep(guys, you).

The MNCs paper suggests nmod:desc.

Some other related things:

• you idiot, you absolute fool, etc. (singular noun but I don't think these can be subjects) (Twitter discussion)
• you all/both - currently det(you, all). EWT PRON-headed det
• us three (1 EWT token), you three (1 GUM token) - currently nummod

dep in GUM is intentional and generally applies as a placeholder for things we wanted to be nmod:desc (until whenever we decide to implement that, if we do)
