A New Approach to the Zero Subject in English

Introduction. For “subject question” it is traditionally presumed, that the subject in interrogative word or combination. From logical point of view not correct, because such sentence yet found, and combination just “help” searching for it. In English, marked by different syntactic means, example, absence auxiliary verb. Also question a formal particle “there” shows up; however, its functions are still unclear. That why objective this work to build model English sentence, including searched subjects, without with “there”. Methodology sources. The research methodology based on binomiality idea, having been developed since 1993 at ETU “LETI” means method formal-logical modelling. examples illustrating functional features were selected continuous sampling from 7 corpora. Results discussion. diversity structures considered, taking into account possible assumption supported, implicit “trace” explicit may be considered as absolute zero subject. It subject, which an i.e. inexplicit one necessary initiate specifying notion distinction subjects. Conclusion. Out dependence environment, one. Most often strong weak vacant semifinitive, fixed specifier, or, rarer, specifier. sentences no can when for; verb emphasis negation does disappear, but transformed flexion. structure negative see their enhanced (and, actually, maximum) energetics.
