What type of pronouns are "other" and "another"? [closed]

Solution 1:

"Other" and "another" are not pronouns despite what some dictionaries may say.

"Other" is a common noun. It differs from a pronoun in that it can take determiners such as "this" and "the", cf. She left six pears: this one is riper than the others, ("the others" being a fused-head NP). It is like prototypical nouns in having an inflectional contrast between singular "other" and plural "others", as that example shows.

"Another" is a alternative-additive determinative, either with a following noun as in May I have another beer, please, or in a fused determiner-head NP, as in Ed supports one team and I support another, where "another" is interpreted as "another team".
