We investigate the properties of logophors and ordinary pronouns across Ewe (3 speakers), Igbo (2 speakers), and Yoruba (2 speakers). Our results show that logophors are obligatorily read de se across all three languages, while the reference profile of the pronoun varies. We provide a new analysis that captures the Ewe pattern by way of pronominal competition, and propose an extension that models the variation relative to Yoruba and Igbo.
