Hello,
> What natural languages do this? It's fascinating.
Not exactly this, but the Chukchi-Kamchatkan, Aleut (and Cree, I hear)
languages express the person of the actant which is higher on the
deictic hierarchy (hierarchies vary). Thus, in Aleut, 'I love her' and
'She loves me' are expressed identically.
