a pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun, noun phrase, or noun clause. The pronoun is one of the traditional parts of speech. Adjective: pronominal.

A pronoun can function as a subject, object, or complement in a sentence. Unlike nouns, pronouns rarely allow modification. (See Examples and Observations below.)
