LessonsConclusion: Departing from the Apparent Demands of ContextQuiz

الْاِلْتِفَاتُ
A deliberate shift in discourse between first person, second person and third person.

The main perspectives are speaker (I/we), addressee (you) and absent person (he/they). Where one perspective would normally continue, a shift refreshes attention or serves a particular communicative purpose.

Not every change of pronoun is iltifat. The relevant referent and discourse continuity must be identifiable, and the shift should have a defensible rhetorical point.
