Child Null Subjects*
It has often been observed that children go through a stage in their language development where they omit subjects. This occurs in children learning both pro-drop and non-pro-drop languages and poses questions for a traditional parameter-based theory of language acquisition. In this paper I give an overview of some of the existing accounts of this phenomenon, considering the patterns that emerg...
متن کاملNull subjects in English – economically motivated ?
While it is well-known that (pronominal) subjects can be omitted not only in pro-drop languages such as Russian or Italian, but also in certain registers of English (e.g. diaries), non-overt subjects in casual spoken English have not yet been analysed in any detail. This paper will discuss the factors possibly influencing the choice of overt or non-overt pronouns in a recently collected corpus ...
متن کاملNull Subjects Are Reflexives, Not Pronouns
It has been a prevalent assumption in the literature that phonetically null Subjects of finite clauses are pronouns. This paper examines in detail this empirical generalization and argues that null Subjects are reflexives rather than pronouns. The critical point at stake here, which has obscured appropriate classification, is that null Subjects are reflexives in top-command positions, i.e. refl...
متن کاملNull Allele Frequencies at HLA-G Locus in Iranian Healthy Subjects
Background: HLA-G gene contains 15 alleles including a null allele, HLA-G*0105N. Previous studies have shown that HLA-G*0105N does not encode the complete HLA-G1 or HLA-G5 isoforms but encodes a functional HLA-G protein with the ability to in-hibit NK cell cytolysis. Thus, although the biological functions of HLA-G1 and HLA-G5 proteins are abrogated, other isoforms such as HLA-G2 can replace th...
متن کاملImproving machine translation of null subjects in Italian and Spanish
Null subjects are non overtly expressed subject pronouns found in pro-drop languages such as Italian and Spanish. In this study we quantify and compare the occurrence of this phenomenon in these two languages. Next, we evaluate null subjects’ translation into French, a “non prodrop” language. We use the Europarl corpus to evaluate two MT systems on their performance regarding null subject trans...
