Null subjects: A problem for parameter-setting models of language acquisition
Cognition, 1990Some languages, like English, require overt surface subjects, while others, like Italian and Spanish, allow "null" subjects. How does the young child determine whether or not her language allows null subjects? Modern parameter-setting theory has proposed a solution, in which the child begins acquisition with the null subject parameter set for either ...

Morphological uniformity and the null subject parameter in adult SLA
Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 1996An area of keen interest in applying Chomsky's UG parameter-setting model to SLA has been the Pro-Drop or Null Subject Parameter (Cyrino, 1986; Hilles, 1986; Phinney, 1987; White, 1985, 1986). However, the nature of this parameter changes dramatically from the Jaeggli (1982) and Rizzi (1982) conception with Jaeggli and Safir's (1989) proposal linking ...

Categories in the Parameters Perspective: Null Subjects and V-to-I
1993The primary aim of this work is to provide an account for the null subject and V-to-I parameters and for their interaction. The data considered are the standard ones in Rizzi (1982) for null subjects, and in Pollock (1989) for V-to-I (in finite sentences). Our discussion is articulated in three sections.

The null subject parameter and correlating properties: The case of Creole languages
2008The existence of correlations between the positive setting of the Null Subject Parameter and other grammatical properties has recently been called into question (see Newmeyer (2005)). In this paper, I show that the proref →pro-ref correlation appears to be exceptionless ...
