Agreement, Pro, and Imperatives
Year: 2006
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: In the literature the occurrence of an empty subject in finite clauses is generally related to a parametric choice in the grammar of the language in question. The well-known and much debated pro-drop parameter is taken to be the relevant principle that determines whether a language does or does not allow for empty subjects in non-infinitival clauses. These empty subjects are called pro subjects or simply pro.
