The purpose of this article is to elucidate the relationships between sentence patterns and subject forms of Mongolian object clauses in terms of the distributions of the reflexive-possessive suffixes and the personal possessive proclitics. The sentence patterns have the following two types: a normal type whose word order is a main clause subject, an object clause and a main clause predicate; a topic type which consists of a sentence-first object clause and a main clause. The subject forms include four variants, that is, the zero (covert) form, the accusative, the genitive and the nominative, depending on the coreferentiality or non-coreferentiality between a main clause subject and an object clause one.The study demonstrates that the zero subject, in fact, is divided into an anaphoric type and a pronominal type according to the binding principle of the personal possessive proclitics as well as the reflexive-possessive suffixes. It also suggests that the choice of the accusative, the genitive and the nominative has something to do with the degree of integration of a main clause and an object clause.
