“…Silva-Corvalán (1988) incorporates motion verbs to this classification (andar 'walk,' caminar 'walk,' corer 'run,' etc.). This classification has been implemented-in some cases with minor adaptations-in many studies which have shown the conditioning effect of the verb on SPE (e.g., Cerrón-Palomino 2014; Erker and Guy 2012;Hurtado 2001Hurtado , 2005bOrozco 2015aOrozco , 2018aOrozco , 2018bTravis 2005aTravis , 2005bTravis , 2007among others). General verb type tendencies show that cognitive and perceptive verbs favor overt subjects (Silva-Corvalán and Enrique-Arias 2017, p. 175) whereas all other verbs-especially desiderative and other verbs-favor null subjects.…”

“…Since its inception into pronombrismo by Enríquez (1984), the lexical content of the verb classification has been used by many scholars, most notably Zentella (2007, 2012) in their monumental study of SPE in New York City Spanish. The detailed lexical content description provided by Otheguy and Zentella (2012) in their SPE coding manual -a pronombrista guidebook which they generously shared ahead of its publication-prompted many other researchers (Carvalho and Child 2011;Erker and Guy 2012;Flores-Ferrán 2002Orozco 2015aOrozco , 2016Orozco , 2018aOrozco , 2018bOrozco and Guy 2008;among others) to explore the effect of verbs on SPE using this classification. Overall, the lexical content of the verb tendencies tell us that (a) stative verbs favor overt subjects; (b) both mental activity verbs and estimative verbs moderately favor overt subjects-this explains why many studies have examined these two types of verbs jointly (e.g., Erker and Guy 2012; Otheguy and Zentella 2012; Orozco and Guy 2008; among others); and (c) external activity verbs favor null subjects.…”

“…Additionally, considering the gender effect found by Otheguy and Zentella (2012) and subsequently established and designated as a women effect by Shin (2013) and Shin and Otheguy (2013), we hypothesized that gender would condition SPE in Medellín. Furthermore, guided by findings in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (Alfaraz 2015); Barranquilla, Colombia (Orozco 2015a(Orozco , 2018b; the Colombian community in New York City (Orozco 2018a(Orozco , 2018b; and Spain (Prada Pérez 2015), among others, we hypothesized that women would favor overt pronominal subjects.…”

“…Variationist subject pronoun expression (SPE), i.e., pronombrista investigations were pioneered by Barrenechea and Alonso (1973), Morales (1980), and Bentivoglio (1980), with their studies of the Spanish spoken in Buenos Aires, Argentina; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Caracas, Venezuela, respectively. Those seminal studies inspired the development of a sizeable body of literature that has explored the alternation between null and overt pronominal subjects in Caribbean Spanish (Alfaraz 2015;Bentivoglio 1987;Prada-Pérez and Gómez Soler 2020;Orozco 2015aOrozco , 2018aOrtiz López 2009; among others), Mainland Latin American Spanish (Cerrón Palomino 2014; Lastra and Martín Butragueño 2015;Travis 2005aTravis , 2005b, Peninsular Spanish (Cameron 1993, Enríquez 1984, Posio 2011, Prada Pérez 2009, and Spanish in the United States (Cameron 1992(Cameron , 1995(Cameron , 1996(Cameron , 1998Cameron and Flores-Ferrán 2004;Flores-Ferrán 2002, 2007aHurtado 2001;Limerick 2018;Zentella 2007, 2012;Orozco 2018b;Silva-Corvalán 1982, 1997Torres Cacoullos and Travis 2018, and others). Interestingly, pronombrista studies have made important contributions to scholarship on Spanish in the United States as well as to variationist sociolinguistics in general.…”

“…Previous pronombrista research on Colombian Spanish explored SPE among Colombians in Florida as well as in Bogotá (Hurtado 2001(Hurtado , 2005a(Hurtado , 2005b, in the city of Cali (Travis 2005b(Travis , 2007Travis and Torres Cacoullos 2012), and among Mainlander Colombians in New York City Zentella 2007, 2012;. Subsequent research (Orozco and Guy 2008;Orozco 2015aOrozco , 2018aHurtado and Ortega-Santos 2019) has studied SPE in Barranquilla and among Costeño Colombians in NYC (Orozco 2018a(Orozco , 2018b.

This variationist study of subject pronoun expression (SPE) in Medellín, Colombia uses multivariate regressions to probe the effects of ten predictors on 4623 tokens from the Proyecto para el Estudio Sociolingüístico del Español de España y de América (PRESEEA) corpus. We implement analytical innovations by exploring transitivity and the lexical effect of the verb, which we analyze by testing infinitives and subject pronoun + verb collocations, respectively, as standalone, random-effect factors. Our results reveal the highest pronominal rate (28%) found in a mainland Spanish-speaking community. Additionally, we uncover that pronominal rates increase with age, a finding which appears to have cognitive implications. The internal conditioning contributes to pronombrista studies by showing the effects of discourse type and transitivity. Narratives and opinion statements favor overt subjects, but statements indicating routine activities favor null subjects. Whereas unergative verbs promote overt subjects, reflexive verbs favor null subjects. The lexical effect of the verb reveals opposing tendencies between verbs in the same category as well as within different collocations of the same verb, providing more definitive answers than the semantically guided approaches used for the last four decades and showing that verb groupings do not constitute functional categories with regard to SPE. Overall, this study contributes to expand our baseline knowledge of SPE in mainland Latin American communities and opens interesting research avenues.

Variable subject pronoun expression in Cabo-Verdean Creole

The Cabo-Verdean Creole (CVC) subject domain has clitic and tonic pronouns that often amalgamate in double subject pronoun constructions; the possibility of a zero-subject and the formal category underlying subject clitics are disputed (Baptista 1995, 2002; Pratas 2004). This article discusses five variable constraints that condition subject expression across three descriptive and inferential analyses of a corpus of speech collected from 33 speakers from Santiago and Maio. Double subject pronoun constructions and zero-subjects were promoted by a persistence effect, though for the former this applied across nonadjacent clauses since double subject pronoun constructions are switch reference and contrastive devices resembling the doubling of agreement suffixes by independent pronouns in languages traditionally classified as pro-drop. Zero-subjects were favored in third-person contexts as previously observed by Baptista and Bayer (2013), and when a semantically referentially deficient (Duarte & Soares da Silva 2016) DP antecedent was in an Intonational Unit that was prosodically and syntactically linked to the Intonational Unit containing the target anaphor (Torres Cacoullos & Travis 2019). Results support reclassification of CVC subject clitics as ambiguous person agreement markers (Siewierska 2004) and suggest that CVC is developing a split-paradigm for person marking and subject expression (Wratil 2009; Baptista & Bayer 2013).

The objective of this article is to extract certain general consequences about social and linguistic-pragmatic conditions in the expression of subject personal pronouns (SPPs) in contemporary urban Spanish. The study examines some of the results obtained in Valencia and Granada, Spain; Mexico City, Mexico; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Caracas, Venezuela; Bogotá and Medellín, Colombia; and Montevideo, Uruguay. These works have all analyzed data from the “Project for the Sociolinguistic Study of Spanish in Spain and America” (PRESEEA), thus they all share data collected under very similar circumstances (Moreno Fernández 1996; Cestero Mancera 2012). The presence or the absence of pronominal subjects in Spanish is required in certain contexts, but in most cases they are considered optional. This optionality depends on fixed factors of linguistic nature (such as the grammatical person and number of the subject, or the co-reference between the subject and a previous element) and of social nature (such as age or gender), and on random factors (such as individuals and verbal pieces). The hypotheses to be tested are: (a) there is geographical variation among the cities studied, which is reflected in the rates of overt SPPs (Otheguy & Zentella 2012; Carvalho, Orozco & Shin 2015); (b) social variation is relatively small within each city; (c) the fixed and random linguistic-pragmatic variation is intense within each city and similar among cities; (d) the most relevant factors that activate overt SPPs are related to adequate information management of the anaphoric chains and textual coherence.
