영문 초록

The null object along with the null subject is traditionally assumed to be pro. Whitman (1988), Otani & Whitman (1991) and Huang (1991) oppose this traditional assumption on the null object and claim that the null object, particularly in the VP ellipsis context, is derived from VP deletion. On the other hand, Park (1994) and Hoji (1998) suggest an argument for the traditional pro hypothesis. In this paper, I stand on the former position, showing that the pro analysis does not have enough explanatory power in dealing with the null object in the VP ellipsis context, and suggesting the null subject and object asymmetries.
