English
Adjective
(en adjective)- A second class of Subject Expressions'' in English are so-called ''pleonastic pronouns'' such as ''it'' and ''there'' in sentences like:
(104) (a) ''It'' is raining/''It'' is a long way to Dallas/''It?s'' time to leave/''It'' is obvious that you?re right
(104) (b) ''There'' must have been some mistake/''There'' walked into the room the most beautiful woman I had ever encountered
These Pronouns are called ‘pleonastic? (which means ‘redundant?) in traditional grammar because (in their ‘pleonastic? use, but not in other uses) they are felt to be (in some vague intuitive sense) ‘semantically empty?, and thus cannot have their reference questioned (cf. ?''What is raining?'' ?''Where must have been some mistake? ).
