<DIV>Dear Alexander,</DIV>
<DIV>most pro-drop languages may omit the SUBJ in main and dependent clauses:
Ital. ‘(ZERO)gli ho dato un libro perché (ZERO) voleva leggerlo’ instead of ‘IO
gli ho dato un libro perché LUI voleva leggerlo’.</DIV>
<DIV>Best wishes.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Dear colleagues,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would be very grateful for any references concerning expression of
syntactic arguments in adjunct clauses and contrasts between structures where an
argument (e.g., subject) is expressed ('I gave him a book, because HE wanted to
read it') and those where an argument is omitted ('I gave him a book because
(ZERO) wanted to read it').</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks a lot in advance,</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Alexander Letuchiy, Moscow</DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
