	The use of the second person in electronic fiction
		Second person texts with no immediately recognizable narrator, however, have caused a certain amount of controversy among the critics.
		While several critics have maintained that the "you" in second person fiction denotes the narrator as well as the protagonist and the narratee, Fludernik claims that there are numerous examples of second person fiction which show no distinct trace of an identifiable narrator.
		The use of the second person in any form is an invitation to projection, be it onto a character or a fictionalized reader in the text, drawing the reader into the text in ways other forms do not.

	Second Person Fiction
		He proposes that the "second person's" two central functions are to entertain and to moralise, and that the novel takes the form of a sometimes bawdy, sometimes didactic discussion between the narrator, Guzman, and an anonymous, silent, omnipresent and multiform narratee.
		The "second person" has no proper place, he says, in lyric, testimonial or narrative poetry: he assumes that the literary is necessarily a written form, and that the "second person," which he defines as oratory, is therefore lesser literature.
		He describes the "second person" as being characterised, on the one hand, by an identity that is fluid and indeterminate, and on the other, by a corresponding and simultaneous need for a stable and clear identity.

	Writing in the second person - The Sugar Quill
		I suppose the use of writing it in the second person makes it sounds as if this story may be have happened to her for real, but this could also be YOUR story.
		I've experimented with second person writing, and in some respects it's quite a useful tool--the problem is that it's a rare one to use, because you have to be incredibly good with it to make it work properly, and I have never heard of a novel being written completely in 2nd person.
		The problem with 2nd is the fact that it personalizes the reader so very much with the story that it usually makes the reader uncomfortable to the point where they won't want to continue to read it.

	Kate's Book Blog: Stories in the Second Person
		A related possibility is that the author is using the second person to heighten the sense of identification between reader and character.
		I think second person works well to get across the rawness of a story, one the narrator hasn't processed to the point that she can even tell it in the first person to other people yet.
		The second person pronoun "you" can be used as a distancing device to gain objectivity from one's subjectivity; as when the narrator is observing or commenting upon his behaviour or mental state to his or her self.

	Second Person is Primary in Language Development
		Since the relationship between a sign and its referent is arbitrary, one purpose for the indication is to fix exactly that reference relationship in the context of the first and second person.
		The first person is, in this sense, a simple matter of economy; the same argument holds for the second person form.
		Once the first and second person signs are formed, it is simply a matter of generalizing to adapt the economy to the third person.

	HLW: Word Meanings: Deixis and Person
		First and second person seem to be universal categories in languages; they appear not only in the form of pronouns, as we'll see in Chapter 7.
		Just as we have first and second person pronouns which say nothing more about the referent than that it is (or includes) the Speaker or Hearer, we have third person pronouns which say little more about the referent than that it does not include the Speaker or Hearer.
		Personal pronouns don't actually allow them to refer to any new things in the world that they couldn't already refer to; they already had proper nouns or common nouns for this purpose.

	Second Person Fiction test copy 1
		In fact, appreciative of the difficulties of adequately defining the "second person" as a distinct field, Richardson proceeds on the premise that the "very essence [of the "second person"] is to eschew a fixed essence" (Richardson, 1991: 311).
		The third relationship differs from the first and second in that, where the "you" addressed in those is a characterised participant of narrative events, the "you" addressed in the third is not, although it may yet be figured within the diegetic frame of the text.
		The beguilingly candid nature of the "second person's" hailing gesture, of course, is deceptive: highly complex processes of ideological interpellation work at far deeper levels than that of explicit address.
