In this sentence, I know "them" is a pronoun but I'm not sure if "his wife" is a pronoun or not?

Rand loves sports cars, and his wife loves them too

    No, it's a noun phrase. It has the noun "wife" as head, and the genitive personal pronoun "his" as determiner.

    "Them" is also a noun phrase, with the pronoun "them" as head.

"His wife" is a noun phrase here. "them", which you also made bold, is a pronoun.

  • "Them" is also an NP consisting of just the pronoun "them".

  • @BillJ depends on the framework I guess
