Pronoun
A word class that replaces or refers to a noun or noun phrase. Pronouns include personal pronouns, possessive pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, relative pronouns, and others.

When Greta Thunberg repeatedly used 'you' and 'we' in her UN speech, the pronoun choices directly positioned world leaders as responsible and young people as victims of climate inaction.
Exam Focus
Always analyse pronoun choice in terms of positioning — who is included ('we'), excluded ('they'), or addressed ('you') reveals power dynamics.
