Extending partial pro-drop in Modern Hebrew: A comprehensive analysis
The phenomenon of pro-drop whereby pronominal arguments may be omitted in particular contexts is well-known and well-studied. Moreover, the notion of the Null Subject Parameter, which presumably distinguishes between those languages which allow unexpressed pronominal subjects (i.e., pro-drop languages) and those which do not, is prevalent in the transformational syntax literature. Modern Hebrew...
متن کاملExtending Partial Pro-drop in Modern Hebrew: A Comprehensive Analysis
Modern Hebrew is considered to be a ‘partial pro-drop language’. Traditionally, the distinction between cases where pro-drop is licensed and those in which it is prohibited, was based on the person and tense features of the verb: 1st and 2nd person pronominal subjects may be omitted in past and future tense. This generalization, however, was found to be false in a number of papers, each discuss...

Early modern prescriptive literature about household spatial and social ordering primarily informs us of elite male views. Few contemporary sources exist to suggest women’s notions about these issues. Early modern dollhouses could shed some light on the views of both sexes, as makers, patrons, and collectors of such objects. Such artefacts have rarely been considered a source for historic perce...
متن کاملEarly operators and late topic-drop/pro-drop

The paper argues that the empirical content of these proposals as well as their partial overlap follows from an inherent hierarchy of acquisition steps of the kind predicted in Jakobson (1942). The empirical support for this rein...
متن کاملPro-Drop and Impoverishment
It is often assumed that some notion of morphological richness plays a central role in the theory of pro-drop: In languages with sufficiently rich verbal φ-feature (person, number, gender) agreement morphology, pronominal arguments can (and, in some contexts, must) remain without phonological realization; in languages without such a rich verbal agreement morphology, pronominal arguments must be...
