Logophoric pronouns are pronouns used to refer to the person whose words, thoughts, or emotions are being represented. In addition to reflexives that can be used logophorically (indirect reflexives), some languages have morphologically distinct logophoric pronouns. The analysis of logophoricity has focused on indirect reflexives and on their use to convey a particular point of view. However, morphologically distinct logophoric pronouns are typically used in indirect discourse. In this paper it is shown that logophoricity and point of view are distinct phenomena by examining morphologically distinct logophoric pronouns, and showing that they are primarily indirect-discourse forms and usually do not represent point of view at all. Indirect reflexives and morphologically distinct logophoric pronouns have several parallels, but most importantly, they both have a primary use (clausal coreference and indirect-discourse marker respectively), with the representation of point of view being only a secondary use
