Abstract

This  study  intends  to  present  evidences  of  non-existence  of  the  subject  in existential  predicates  of  the  Guaja  language  (Tupi-Guarani  family)  and  to defend  the  hypothesis  that  this  characteristic  can  be  extended  to  the  other languages    of  the  family.  The  interpretation  of  the  syntactic  status  of  the person markers in Guaja existential predicates is the key to substantiate this hypothesis.
