Abstract

The behaviour of the Catalan locative pronoun hi is apparently arbitrary: with some movement verbs, sometimes it is necessary sometimes it is not. Even more, sometimes its presence changes the meaning of the sentence or gives rise to an ungrammatical sentence. This is because of the deictic properties of the place of destination. The pronoun hi does not appear when the destination is linked to participants in the communicative situation, or at least to one of them.
