Abstract
This paper explores the morphosyntactic features of the phenomenon singular they. It distinguishes between epicene and non-binary they. The analysis draws on the pronoun’s historical development, Agreement and Concord theory, the distribution of the third-person singular inflection -s, morphological structure analysis, and morphosyntactic analyses. The findings support that both types of singular they are felicitous in discourse.
