The Present of the English Future: Grammatical Variation and Collocations in Discourse (2009, background): “For example, despite disparate rates in Spanish subject pronoun expression, morphosyntactic and discourse constraints (verb class and tense, distance from and form of previous coreferential subject) are shared across regions (Cameron 1993) and genres (conversation and narrative) (Travis 2007).”
Testing convergence via code-switching: priming and the structure of variable subject expression (2011, background): “As noted earlier, both Cameron (1993, 1994) and Travis (2007) found near identical linguistic conditioning of subject expression across varieties of Spanish, notwithstanding significantly different rates of use.”
