Abstract This paper is an attempt to find out the cognateship of all the uses of the Old Japanese pronouns i/si and pronominal affixes i/si with various uses of the Oceanic deictic pronominals *i/*si. In concl...usion, we have found that these elements of both languages must be cognate with each other on the grounds that not only all the functions of both languages but the developments of these elemtents of both languages are extremely similar to each other. This is probably due to the fact that the pre-Proto-Japanese must have been some minimally maintained Austronesian (probably some oceanic languages) possibly with some Austroasiatic elements, which later continually borrowed massive structural elements from Altaic, especially Tungusic languages (if we are permitted an oversimplification from chronologically layered Altaic, especially Tungusic contributions to the Japanese structure) .show more
