Abstract: | Evidence for the existence of an underlying sentence-initial subject slot for Bulgarian null-subject personal constructions can be found in two aberrant tendencies by a Bulgarian patient with aphasia. In response to test sentences consisting of personal constructions that contained an object pronominal clitic and no lexical subject, the patient tended either to insert a superfluous sentence-initial pronominal subject, or to place the object pronominal clitic left-adjacent to the verb, in the position that it would have occupied had a sentence-initial overt subject been present. |
