Overview

Experimental investigation reveals binding patterns in overt and null subject pronouns, challenging CNSL and PNSL distinctions.

Key Points

  • The study shows all four binding patterns of overt pronouns are present in languages with null arguments.
  • CNSLs exhibit a 'rich' inflection-based mechanism for null subjects, differing from PNSL mechanisms.
  • Two experiments were conducted to explore variable binding and pronominal coreference in these languages.
  • The findings call for a re-evaluation of the typological classification of null subject structures.
