Frequency rates and constraints on subject personal pronoun expression: Findings from the Puerto Rican highlands
This study examines subject personal pronoun expression in the Spanish of the west-central highlands of Puerto Rico. Although rates of s -deletion are comparably high, rates of overt subject expression are shown to be much lower than rates reported for varieties of coastal Puerto Rican Spanish and U.S. mainland Puerto Rican Spanish. The linguistic constraints on overt versus null pronoun usage in the data are shown to coincide to a very large ext…
