先日，知識共有サービス mond に「なぜ形容詞は代名詞 (she, it, mine…) を修飾できないんですか？」という質問が寄せられました．人称代名詞は「定」 (definiteness) の意味特徴をもち，かつ主たる機能が「指示」であるという観点から回答してみました．今回の回答は，とりわけ多くの方々にお読みいただいているようです．こちらより訪れてみてください．
その回答の最後に Quirk et al. の §6.20 を要参照と述べました．該当する部分を以下に引用しておきます． "Modification and determination of personal pronouns" と題する節の一部です．
In modern English, restrictive modification with personal pronouns is extremely limited. There are, however, a few types of nonrestrictive modifiers and determiners which can precede or follow a personal pronoun. These mostly accompany a 1st or 2nd person pronoun, and tend to have an emotive or rhetorical flavour:
(a) Adjectives:
Silly me!, Good old you!, Poor us! <informal>
(b) Apposition:
we doctors, you people, us foreigners <familiar>
(c) Relative clauses:
we who have pledged allegiance to the flag, . . . <formal>
you, to whom I owe all my happiness, . . . <formal>
(d) Adverbs:
you there, we here
(e) Prepositional phrases:
we of the modern age
us over here <familiar>
you in the raincoat <impolite>
(f) Emphatic reflexive pronouns . . .:
you yourself, we ourselves, he himself
Personal pronouns do not occur with determiners (*the she, *both they), but the universal pronouns all, both, or each may occur after the pronoun head . . .:
We all have our loyalties.
They each took a candle.
You both need help.
さすがに定冠詞を含む決定詞 (determiner) が人称代名詞に付くことはないようですね．人称代名詞がすでに「定」であり，「定」の2重標示になってしまうからでしょうか．人称代名詞の本質的特徴について考えさせられる良問でした．
