About Complexity, Efficiency, and Language Contact

Two complementary case studies are presented. First, a cross-varietal study indicates that high-contact varieties of English exhibit a higher attestation rate of pronoun omission than low-contact varieties. Second, a corpus-based study demonstrates that pronouns are commonly omitted in contexts in which their antecedents can be easily identified.
