In this article, I demonstrate that Swahili distinguishes two types of resumptive pronouns: (a) lower Ā-movement copies and (b) base-generated bound pronouns. These two types of resumptive pronouns are morphologically distinct: the presence of (local) person features reflects a base-generated derivation, and the absence of person features reflects Ā-movement. Crucial evidence comes from local person pronominal clefts derived from islands (bound pronoun context) and parasitic gaps (movement copy context). Inspired by Van Urk 2018, I analyze this pattern using Landau’s (2006) theory of chain reduction in which only movement copies create chains and are then subject to an algorithm that deletes person features.

在本文中，我将证明斯瓦希里语区分两种类型的恢复代词：(a) 低 Ā-movement 副本和 (b) 基础生成的绑定代词。这两种类型的恢复代词在形态上是不同的：（本地）人称特征的存在反映了基础生成的派生，而人称特征的缺失反映了 Ā-movement。关键证据来自源自岛屿（绑定代词上下文）和寄生间隙（移动复制上下文）的本地人代词裂缝。受 Van Urk 2018 的启发，我使用 Landau (2006) 的链约简理论分析了这种模式，其中只有运动副本创建链，然后进行删除人物特征的算法。
