Much recent scholarship has sought to identify the linguistic and
social factors that favor the expression or omission of subject
pronouns in Spanish. This volume brings together leading experts on
the topic of language variation in Spanish to provide a panoramic
view of research trends, develop probabilistic models of grammar,
and investigate the impact of language contact on pronoun
expression. The book consists of three sections. The first studies
the distributional patterns and conditioning forces on subject
pronoun expression in four monolingual varieties - Dominican,
Colombian, Mexican, and Peninsular - and makes cross-dialectal
comparisons. In the second section, experts explore Spanish in
contact with English, Maya, Catalan, and Portuguese to determine
the extent to which each language influences this syntactic
variable. The final section examines the acquisition of variable
subject pronoun expression among monolingual and bilingual children
as well as adult second language learners.
