Abstract
The present paper examines the distribution and interpretation of non-overt subjects in second conjuncts, focusing on the specificity of this pattern in abbreviated written English. The data shed further light on the nature of subject omission in specific written registers and in particular show that neither a pro-drop analysis nor a topic drop analysis is adequate.
