RESUMO:

It is assumed in Generative Grammar (CHOMSKY, 1995) that finite verbs license lexical subjects because they have the features [+ T, + Agr], which are responsible for checking the Nominative Case. In some languages, like Brazilian Portugueses, the infinitive can have a agreement [+ Agr], like in É importante eles assinarem a declaração (RAPOSO, 1992), which licenses the Nominative Case for the overt subject of infinitive. Spanish is a language that does not have inflected infinitive, thus in the subject position of infinitive is the empty category PRO. However, we can find in Caribbean Spanish constructions of infinitives with overt pre-verbal subjects, like in  Ven acá para nosotros verte (TORIBIO, 2000). The aim of this work is to explain how the pre-verbal subjects perform in the non-finite clauses in the Caribbean Spanish, since this variety of Spanish, like the others, does not have inflected infinitives. This work takes the framework of the Minimalist Program (CHOMSKY, 1995) and part of it to shed light on the syntactic variation of Spanish in a parametric perspective, in order to describe and explain, in the light of Case Theory, the overt pre-verbal subjects of infinitives in the Caribbean Spanish. The conclusion is that the case of the pre-verbal subjects of the non-finite clauses in the Caribbean Spanish is performed by a Default Case (SCHÜTZE, 2001), since these subjects are not associated with any type of Case feature (checked by syntactic mechanism) and neither are controlled by any syntactic elements.
