(1) If the participant is new, use one of your language’s ways of introducing new participants.

(2) If it is not clear to whom a pronoun refers, use a noun phrase or name.
|
||||
|
||||
(3) If an old participant is referred to by name or a noun phrase, and people wonder if this is another new participant, try using a pronoun instead. If a pronoun is not needed because people would understand it clearly from the context, then leave out the pronoun.
