Often in linguistic inquiry, typologically or dialectally unusual constructions are treated as if they were outliers-ostensibly aberrant phenomena with little to contribute to general theory. As such, we propose the Puerto Rican Spanish variation may provide a new synchronic source of data with which to explore the diachronic source of (Galician) inflected infinitives. We utilize this lack of difference to propose that the two construction types may be manifestations of one grammaticalization process. We find the appearance of overt subject marking to be conditioned nearly identically across the two distinct languages as well as across finite/non-finite clauses. Using corpora of oral data, we extract 732 examples of infinitives in purpose clauses (headed by para) and employ a logistic mixed effect model to explore the linguistic conditioning of the overt/null variants. As a result, variable expression/omission of subject marking in these constructions is not yet fully understood. Both constructions, Galician inflected infinitives and (Puerto Rican) Spanish preposed, nominative infinitival subjects, have not been widely studied. If Return of Red-Eyes was destroyed by your opponent, you can revive Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon that was tributed to special summon Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon earlier on.This work reports the results of quantitative, variationist analyses of two typologically unusual constructions in order to explore the grammatical conditioning of subject expression in non-finite clauses.
