Null subjects of non-finite clauses are not annotated, except in the cases of (i) the arbitrary subjects of infinitival complements of causative verbs and (ii) the referential subjects of infinitival clauses with overtly inflected infinitive verbs. See the following subsections for details:
In all other non-finite contexts, no null subjects are added to the annotation:

Notice that, even in non-finite contexts where usually no null subjects are annotated, expletive subjects can be inserted for coindexation purposes (e.g. in infinitival clauses involving se constructions, subject clauses, etc.). See below for examples:
