Abstract

This contribution presents a study of pronoun omission in English and assesses the importance of two explanatory factors, namely simplification due to L2 acquisition and use and substrate influence, to account for this grammatical feature. The results suggest that substrate effects are of secondary importance in comparison to simplification as a predictor of pronoun omission in English, but that both factors are necessary to provide a full description of this phenomenon.
