This article is a stub. If you can contribute to its content, feel free to do so.

A language feature: content words that can be inferred from context may be dropped from clauses. This mainly applies to pronouns, which need not be used in pro-drop languages.

Natlang examples are Chinese, Japanese, Korean, but the phenomenon is quite common, so there are many other examples.

A conlang example is Tyl Sjok, but again, there are many others.
