Hi!
I wonder if there are any recent articles dealing with the omissibility
of the subordinating conjunction ‘that’ in sentences like:
      ‘I’m glad (that) you’re home.’
      ‘I think (that) he’s home.’
The most recent research I know of dates back to 1984 (Elsness, Johan).
I’d be very grateful if anyone could put me on the right track.
Any other information re conditioning factors (apart from the well doc-
umented arguments of style, formality and disambiguation) would be welcomed
as well.
