Description

In the early 80s, largely due to Chomskys Lectures on Government and Binding and ensuing research, a kind of encompassing theory of empty elements had emerged. This theory was largely concerned with silent subjects, silent pronominals, and various kinds of traces of movement. This book is a study of 'empty elements' in language use.
