Abstract

The present study investigates one of the resources of the subject indetermination: the use of the third person, masculine plural, in its full and zero realizations. The main interest is to discuss why ‘the traditional grammar’ does not consider new forms of indetermination, like ‘they’ pronoun, as a resource of indetermination in Brazilian Portuguese.
