Abstract
The study of internal structure and functions of pronouns across languages can be useful for typological, theoretical as well as descriptive studies. Personal pronouns in Iranian languages and dialects have been investigated in the present study. The study has indicated that the pronouns are in clitic as well as free morphemes. The study also indicated that the languages and dialects benefit from various linguistic tools to show the effect of variables like person, number, gender, transitivity and tense. The study has also shown that the investigated languages have three forms in person and two in number. Regarding gender, almost all are neutral. The clitic forms of pronouns are in either enclitic or post-clitics. In some dialects it has been indicated that tense is of effective variables. Transitivity and ergativity are two of the factors that have been found effective in the study
