Addressing a single recipient can encompass the use of what grammarians have characterized as' second person'reference. In English, for the most part, this takes the form g (and its variants such as g $). The conventional view in linguistics holds that g provides a way to refer to the addressee of the speaker. A tacit assumption here, I think, is that the addressed recipient is already or automatically established, and so the use of you simply conforms to this state of affairs. This assumption is on the right track for rwo-party conversation (which may be what most linguists have in mind (cf. Lrvinson 1988)), since using a reference form that designates the addressee as referent will ordinarily only be referring to one person-the speaker's recipient-in rwo-party conversation. However, in multi-party conversation, the use of ygu does not automatically resolve who is being referred to, since its use does not alone distinguish an addressed recipient from among the speaker's co-participants. Thus, you alone does not speci $ who is being referred to, because it cannot speciff who is being addressed.
