Null Subjects: 137 (Cambridge Studies in Linguistics, Series Number 137)

Product description Review 'Camacho has surveyed and integrated a huge amount of material and come up with a coherent and original overall account of 'Null Subject' phenomena, exploiting a nice balance of data, sophisticated theoretical discussion and sensible formalisation.' Neil Smith, Emeritus Professor of Linguistics, University College London'… the book is useful for anyone interested in further investigating the topic of NSs and NSLs. It provides a wealth of typological data for 'prototypical' NSLs and, especially, partial NSLs (less so for discourse NSLs) and provides a valuable summary of the current generative understanding of NSLs and the problems with many earlier (or widespread and influential) theories.' John Foreman, Linguist List Book Description This book provides an accessible and original account of null subject phenomena, and encompasses the most recent findings and developments.
