Abstract

Many Romance linguists have been concerned with a grammatical phenomenon that has often been called disjoint reference effect, or obviation. These terms usually refer to the fact that the null subject of an embedded clause in the subjunctive cannot be interpreted as coreferent with the subject of the matrix clause. The main explicative theories, which are based on data in Catalan, Spanish, Portuguese, French, are able to account for a cross-linguistically uniform set of data; nevertheless, some important predictions deriving from these theories do not seem to be borne out.
