On the one hand, omitted pronouns result in simpler and more efficient structures, provided their antecedents are retrievable from the context. On the other hand, the choice between overt and omitted pronouns depends on several grammatical constraints, which in turn may entail an increase in system complexity. Two methodologically different but complementary case studies are presented, which contribute new findings to the literature at the crossroads of research on World Englishes, complexity, efficiency, and pronoun omission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maurizio Gotti,Iván Tamaredo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303433902X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783034339025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Maurizio Gotti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136974565631,"sku":"9783034339025","price":84.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b932dd1c-b5cd-4768-bb93-7d862859c70b.jpg?v=1770165703","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/complexity-efficiency-and-language-contact-maurizio-gotti-9783034339025","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
