In so-called '''pro-drop''' or 'null-subject' languages, such as [[Italian]], a [[pronoun|pronominal]] [[subject]] may be phonetically [[null]] in tensed sentences. It is generally assumed that in such cases, the subject is the element [[pro]], and that this pro is licensed by the verbal inflection ( [[INFL]]).<br />
