| Abstract: | This paper concentrates on certain registers in English in which the obligation
for there to be a subject associated with a finite clause seems to be relaxed. This is
notably the case in some variants of spoken English, here illustrated through
dialogues taken from novels in (5)2, and in some written registers which tend to use
abbreviated writing such as diary writing or note taking, which are illustrated in (6). |
