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, Jose A. Camacho reviews the
key notions of null subject analyses over the past thirty 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.
