  • Grammaticalization of indefinite pronouns through human nouns (e.g.HOMO, PERSONA) is a very common path within the Romance languages. Catalan alsoknows the grammaticalization of HOMO to an indefinite pronoun (although it is usedmore often in rather formal texts and depicts a marked use in other texts), while today’sCatalan uses other strategies such as the passiva reflexa and third person plural. Wellthen, what have been the individual stages in the different languages? Why did Spanishstart to use other strategies although the first steps of the HOMO-grammaticalization canbe proved in medieval Spanish?This article is the product of a comparative corpus study. The period that has beenstudied is the 13th century. We want to show the state of the grammaticalization inCatalan, Spanish and French within that very period, demonstrate differences regardingthe context (assertive vs. non-assertive), the syntactic position and modifications, andgive a possible explication for the stopped HOMO-grammaticalization in Spanish
