Abstract
A second important property that Hale (1983) took to distinguish non-configurational languages is the extensive use of null anaphora. In this chapter, I will first show how null anaphora relates to clitic-doubling, and present an analysis of the pronominal clitics which treats them as agreement markers. I describe the marginal possibility for case-marked adjuncts to agree in case with the case of the subject of a non-finite clause. This argues for the null pronominal subject of these clauses bearing case.
