Earticle

In this paper I argue under the minimalist framework of Chomsky (1998, 1999) that null operators, in contrast to wh-operators, are basically regulated by the finiteness property of the clause(5) involved, in its distribution and aspects of movement, and demonstrate how the derivation of operator constructions is affected by the presence or absence of phonological contents in operators. The theoretical implication of this paper is that the postulation of null operators in English is not merely a linguistic artifact but rather a necessity of the theory of English to accommodate two essentially different operator constructions.
