This chapter provides a detailed treatment of 'Subject' in a neglected language of South Asia, namely Punjabi; Secondly, it demonstrates that Subject in the languages under consideration is particularly intriguing because of its conflicting coding, behavioral and semantic properties; And finally, it explains this state of affairs on the basis of semantic roles of NPs. The descriptive and theoretical framework on which our discussion is based is that of Keenan (1976) and Comrie (1981). Employing their multifactoral universal definition of Subject, simplex and oblique Subjects will be analyzed according to the following criteria : (1) syntactic position; (2) case assignment; (3) verb agreement; (4) control requirements such as control of reflexive pronouns and null pronouns in syntactic possess such as Equi NP deletion, conjunction reduction etc.; and (5) accessibility to the syntactic processes mentioned above.
