Expression of Subjects in Enxet Sur
Functional and Structural Predictors for the Choice between Overt Pronoun and Zero Anaphora
This talk is based on a term paper investigating functional and structural predictors for the realization of first and second person subjects in Enxet Sur (Enlhet-Enenlhet, Paraguay) as either an overt pronoun or zero anaphora, specifically Complementarity (Nichols 2018) and Topic Continuity (Givón 1983).
