Inasmuch as the Portuguese conjugational paradigm includes specific inflections for each person, as well as distinctions between singular and plural, it would make sense to expect pronominal subject omission to be the norm in this language. This does not, however, seem to be the case in Brazilian Portuguese, a variety in which subject expression may occur even when, at first sight, there are no factors making such explicitness necessary, especially in informal spoken language. The aim of this paper is, thus, to determine the conditioning factors of the choice between overt subject and zero subject in informal Brazilian Portuguese, with a scope limited to the first person singular. Although the theoretical framework of this paper is primarily functional, some sociolinguistic support was also deemed necessary, especially regarding diaphasic variation and self-monitoring. Due to the need for a body of data which reflected the reality of language in its most spontaneous form, unmarked by self-censorship or concern for form, it seemed appropriate to elect as the corpus for this analysis the new genre of videologs, prototypically consisting of homemade, unscripted, online-published videos. The analysis reveals that subject expression is motivated by many other necessities besides the guarantee that the listener will be able to identify the subject intended by the speaker.
