Abstract
This article compares the resumptive and expletive views on an understudied use of the Cantonese pronoun keoi5. We demonstrate that the resumptive view as recently proposed in Yip and Ahenkorah (2022) raises a number of complications, and the so-called dummy keoi5 is better analyzed as a non-subject expletive, in line with traditional descriptions in Matthews and Yip (1994/2011).
