ABSTRACT
In this article I present new phenomena concerning quantificational interpretation in certain null operator constructions and argue that these phenomena receive a natural explanation within a Government-Binding-type theory of LF representation. In particular, I present a new form of evidence indicating both that Universal Grammar does incorporate an LF Quantifier Movement rule (as in May (1977; 1985)) and that the representation of certain constructions does indeed contain a phonetically null operator (NO) (as in Chomsky (1982; 1986b)). I will show that (under certain (re-) formulations) the Quantifier Movement analysis and the NO analysis interact to explain the phenomena presented below.
