AB The main objective of this work is to provide empirical data evidencing the level ofproduction and acceptability of Resumptive Pronouns (RP) in English. Although thistype of pronominal categories has been considered to be ungrammatical in English,actually, has been reported to be employed regularly in oral communication. Theparticipants selected for this study are a group of Spanish speakers who were classifiedaccording to their English grammatical background: some of them had in-depthlinguistic knowledge of the language (G1) and some other had mostly knowledge of theoral dimension of the language (G2). The analysis of the results of the tests to whichthey were submitted showed greater acceptance and production of the resumptivepronoun on the part of the G2, verifying this way the oral status of this type of pronounin English even in non-native speakers. Even so, in both groups, the levels of productionand acceptability of the RP did not reach high levels.
