- Johann Christoph Gottsched, Grundlegung der deutschen Sprachkunst, II. Theil, Das IV Hauptstück (bold text changed to italics, quoted from zeno.org)
Von den Fürwörtern (Pronominibus).
Es ist schon oben gemeldet worden, daß es unbequem seyn würde, in allen Fällen die Hauptwörter selbst zu brauchen. Darum haben alle Sprachen gewisse kleinere Wörter, die man an ihrer statt brauchet. Und weil sie also für andere gebrauchet werden: so nennet man sie Fürwörter.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
