Abstract:

The null subject has always been central to linguistic theory, because it
tells us a great deal about the underlying structure of language in the human
brain, and about the interface between syntax and semantics. Null subjects
exist in languages such as Italian, Chinese, Russian and Greek where the
subject of a sentence can be tacitly implied, and is understood from the
context. In this systematic overview of null subjects, José Camacho reviews
the key notions of null subject analyses over the past 30 years and
encompasses the most recent findings and developments. He examines a balance
of data on a range of languages with null subjects and also explores how
adults and children acquire the properties of null subjects. This book
provides an accessible and original account of null subject phenomena, ideal
for graduate students and academic researchers interested in syntax, semantics
and language typology.
