preceded by a preposition. A full form of pronoun or NP
should be used in a PP (except when the NP is a
demonstrative (2.4)), as also in bak lakoe-jih 'to her
husband' in (7).)
Likewise, after its introduction in (3), aneuk-geuh
'her son' is only represented by cross-referencing in the
clauses that follow: the last two clauses in (4), Ji-
peutrok. and ji-jak mita keudeh keunoe. The preceding
intervention of a clause in which ma is the subject does not
cut off the continuity of aneuk-geuh because the two are
distinguished by the level of politeness in their cross-
referencing.
Sometimes there is a need to focus or contrast a
subject, which is done by using "subject focus di-" When
this is done, the subject has to be represented by a full NP
or pronoun, even in a clause where it is normally omitted.
This is what happened to subject aneuk-geuh in (5); as we
can see, this subject has been omitted in two consecutive
preceding clauses.
The third subject, peurumoh-jih 'his wife,' appears in
full in (6). In the next clauses it is omitted and
represented by cross-referencing, ji-peusuna. and ji-peugah
nyang hflna-hana in (7), and ji-peugah bak lakoe-jih in (8).
If a subject is introduced twice in two consecutive
clauses or sentences in a story, the first time, as always,
it is introduced in its most complete form, that is, in the
form of an NP, which is often modified by a relative clause
