Subject-Prodrop in Yiddish *

Abstract

this paper, I shall present a corpus-based analysis of Subject-Prodrop in Yiddish, a language in which Subject-Prodrop has not yet been analyzed, and I shall show that, at least in this corpus of this language, the term 'Subject-Prodrop' is a rubric covering phenomena that have diverse syntactic and discourse constraints. In what follows, I shall first describe the corpus and present the syntactic constraints found. Then I shall present the results of a discourse analysis of Subject-Prodrop in Yiddish with respect to Centering Theory. Finally, I shall discuss the implications of these findings. 1. Yiddish Subject-Prodrop: the facts.
