paper CO_FormayFuncióntxt284 - : Thus, the second mention of mi mamá ‘my mom’ does not introduce the referent since the referent was already introduced by the speaker in the immediately preceding clause. Despite ^[110]Silva-Corvalán’s (1994, p. 148) assertion that «if the subject is coreferential with the subject of the preceding sentence, [...] a full subject NP is not acceptable in Spanish», we do see evidence of speakers producing LSs in such contexts^[111]^9. However, in the majority of cases in the Georgia data (95%) the previous coreferential mention was in object position rather than subject position as in example 6:

paper CO_FormayFuncióntxt284 - : Thus, these latter environments (where the previous clause contains a coreferential mention in non-subject position) are simply more common for LSs than are the former environments (where the previous coreferential mention is a subject). In fact, the previous coreferential mention was in subject position only 2% of the time (10/488). This means that, in considering the distribution with pronomimal subjects, the great majority (98%) of immediately preceding coreferential subject contexts yielded a subject pronoun rather than a LS (478/488). Regarding previous mention in non-subject position, LSs occurred 14% of the time (9/64) while pronouns were produced in 86% of cases (overt: 22% ; null: 64%). The use of LSs when their referent’s first mention was in object position could be explained by the notion of accessibility and salience; referents in object position are thought to be less accessible and less salient than those in subject position (^[112]Ariel, 1994). Therefore, speakers may use LSs

paper CO_FormayFuncióntxt284 - : As ^[114]Silva-Corvalán (1994) notes, speakers can also make the communicative choice to highlight the subject referent by means of an expressed subject, for example in situations that are counter to expectation. Example 9 below from the present data demonstrates this function for the LS ese señor ‘that man’. In the preceding discourse, the speaker talks about a man he knows who never went to school and is illiterate. The first mention of the man is made by a noun phrase in object position followed by several cases of anaphora with overt and null SPs. The speaker then uses a noun phrase in subject position (LS) to refer to the man presumably to draw the listener’s attention toward the subject referent at a point in the discourse where unexpected information is introduced: despite the man not being able to read or write, ese señor ha salido adelante ‘that man has done well for himself’^[115]^10:
