Null objects in Brazilian Portuguese, revisited
Authors studying the null object in Brazilian Portuguese generally distinguish two classes of sentences: those in which the verb preceding the null object is identical to the verb which precedes the null object’s antecedent, and those in which these two verbs are distinct. The present study examines...

| description | Authors studying the null object in Brazilian Portuguese generally distinguish two classes of sentences: those in which the verb preceding the null object is identical to the verb which precedes the null object’s antecedent, and those in which these two verbs are distinct. The present study examines the latter class of sentences. On the basis of novel empirical evidence, it is argued that this class admits two distinct derivations: one, in which the null object is pro, and the other, in which the null object is derived via ellipsis. It is further argued that both derivations are available independent of whether the null object is embedded within a coordinate structure. |

Objetos nulos, Português brasileiro, Elipse Null objects, Brazilian Portuguese, Ellipsis Authors studying the null object in Brazilian Portuguese generally distinguish two classes of sentences: those in which the verb preceding the null object is identical to the verb which precedes the null object’s antecedent, and those in which these two verbs are distinct. The present study examines the latter class of sentences. On the basis of novel empirical evidence, it is argued that this class admits two distinct derivations: one, in which the null object is pro, and the other, in which the null object is derived via ellipsis.

Autores que investigam o objeto nulo no português brasileiro geralmente distinguem duas classes de sentenças: aquelas em que o verbo que precede o objeto nulo é idêntico ao verbo que precede o antecedente do objeto nulo, e aquelas em que os dois verbos são distintos. O presente estudo examina a última classe de sentenças. Com base em novas evidências empíricas, este trabalho argumenta que esta classe admite duas derivações distintas: uma em que o objeto nulo é pro, e outra em que o objeto nulo é derivado por elipse. Adicionalmente, este trabalho argumenta que ambas as derivações estão disponíveis, independentemente de o objeto nulo estar em uma estrutura coordenada.
