- Title
On the Status of Parasitic Gaps in Bulgarian.
- Authors
Stateva, Penka
- Abstract
This paper examines the likely candidates for the Parasitic Gap (PG) construction in Bulgarian. Focusing on the properties of PGs known from previously studied languages, I conclude that there are no genuine PGs in Bulgarian. I also argue that without-clauses are irrelevant for the study of PGs: They involve a different mechanism for licensing a null element inside the clause.
