[Lingtyp] Partial pro-drop

[Christian Lehmann]

In Spanish, the first and third person singular of the verb are 
syncretic in most TAM categories. Lehmann 2009 shows that in a 
relatively small portion of occurrences, the reference is disambiguated 
by a subject pronoun. In the majority of relevant cases, the task of 
disambiguation is just left to the hearer.

desambiguación de formas verbales sincréticas”. Sánchez Miret, Fernando
