In this chapter, we will introduce some of the contemporarymorphological researches on word order and subject omission Wewill show that in the analyses of word order variation, most of thecontemporary morphological studies are from a synchronic perspectiveand generally focus on one single aspect of morphology; therefore, theycannot cover all the syntactic differences among human languages In ouropinion, a diachronic comparison of morphological paradigms is quiteimportant in the analysis of syntactic variation.
Moreover, we will show that a single or a few syntactic parameters,as proposed in many generativists'' frameworks cf Chomsky 1981, 1982;Jaeggli and Safir 1989, cannot cover all the null subject phenomena,because there are three types of null subjects and the licensing conditionof each kind of null subject is different Compared to thegenerativists''studies, an analysis based on morphological comparison, like Vainikkaand Levy''s 1999 analysis of the pronominal connection, appears to bemore flexible in that different licensing conditions of subject omissionare even allowed to be present in one language Nevertheless, theirnull subject analysis only considers null thematic subjects, withoutconsideration of null expletives, which is actually a hotly debated topicin syntax.
