See the APiCS chapter on the "expression of pronominal subjects"
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://apics-online.info/parameters/62.chapter.html">http://apics-online.info/parameters/62.chapter.html</a>), inspired by
Matthew Dryer's corresponding WALS feature
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wals.info/feature/101A">http://wals.info/feature/101A</a>).<br>
<br>
I would also recommend Anna Siewierska's works, especially her 1999
paper (in Folia Linguistica) and her 2004 book (Person).<br>
<br>
But I think it's important to recognize that the notion of
"pro-drop" is very confusing, and remains popular only because many
linguists don't know much more than English and Spanish (and they
feel that Spanish "drops" what would be a personal pronoun in
English). In fact, however, the Spanish type is FAR more common in
the world's languages than the Swedish type (where subject personal
pronouns are obligatory, and there is no person-marking on the verb
at all), as can be seen in Matthew Dryer's WALS chapter. The
English/German type (with obligatory personal pronouns, plus
person-marking on the verb) is extremely rare (as noted by
Siewierska 1999).<br>
<br>
(Note also that "person-drop" would be a better term, because not
all pronouns can be "dropped", e.g. interrogatives and
demonstratives.)<br>

<p>Related to Honors supervision, I am looking for typological

<p>Anything on pro-drop in creole languages will be particularly
