Nick Bailey’s dissertation is a huge contribution, but it is certainly not the first to provide a coherent, linguistically viable description of Koine information structure. There are two basic functions of pronouns in the information structure system of Koine when they are not semantically required. Viewing them as “placeholders” is a key to moving forward (see the series of posts here). [...] [...] This claim left me without words for a while.
