あなたのこれと僕のこれをぱくってください。

This was included as an example sentence in this my [北海道弁辞典]{ほっかいどうべんじてん}. To
help clear up any confusion, the term in question, ぱくる, is equivalent to
[交換]{こうかん}する, according to the dictionary's 意味{いみ} section. Now, I understand
the words, but I'm not sure why これ is used like this. It'd be something like,
"Please exchange my this with your this." I'm confused on why it's phrased
like this and why a different phrasing wasn't used.

Update: l'électeur pointed out that this expression would make more sense if
there was more than one object on each side. For example, if I had three types
of candy and you had three crackers, and I proposed lets exchange one of your
crackers or one of my candies.

Understanding this sentence: あなたのこれと僕のこれをぱくってください。
This meaning is confusing because in English we really don't modify words like
"this" in the same way. However, if you think of "僕のこれ" as a combination of
"this" and "mine", it makes more sense. For example, imagine that the person
is pointing to two objects so it is clear what "これ” means.

I'd translate this as "Let's trade this, of yours, with this, of mine".

This sort of usage can be seen with other こそあど words like それ.

Make sense?
