Abstract


In opposition to those interpretations which consider the element -pse of the pronoun ipse as an emphatic particle with little regard for the question of its origin, and those others which see a particular semantic value in this particle, the author of this article suggests that the pronominal form ipse is the result of a generalization of -pse to the whole pronominal paradigm beginning with eumpse. This pronoun is characterized by an exclusively emphatic function, where the presence of an epenthetic p in the sequence *eum-se > eumpse is phonetically legitimised.
