By indentifying the referent of omitted subjects, it has been found that there are five types of the missing-subject of the subordinate clause in Japanese, which are (1) main-clause-theme coreference, (2) “main-clause-complement coreference, (3) precedent-topic coreference, (4) speaker / hearer coreference, and (5) no coreferential element. It has turned out that the subject of a subordinate clause will be easy to be omitted in coreferentiality with the main-clause theme or with the topical element which can easily attract the speaker's attention in the clausal, discoursal, or situational context. Besides, in conversational sentences in which viewpoint relations are clear, the first person pronoun in coreferentliality with the speaker or the second person pronoun in coreferentiality with the hearer will be easy to be omitted. For the main-clausecomplement coreference type, it is required that the speaker's viewpoint should be completely fixed on the main-clause theme or the main-clause complement. The representative case of the former is a sentence in which an act-directive verb, is used as a predicate of the main clause, the representative case of the latter is a sentence in which a psychological verb, or a verb of coming and going is used as a predicate of the main clause. Moreover, being a no coreferential element missing-subject type, the subordinate-clause subject must be known from our general knowledge of the world. On the other hand, if the subject in the subordinate clause is a part of new information or focal information, it will be hard to be omitted. Moreover, apart from this, when omitting the subordinate-clause subject may invite vagueness, the subject must exist explicitly.}, pages = {95--121}, title = {従属節の主語の同一指示関係と省略の可能性}, volume = {4}, year = {2013} }
