本文通过考虑行为类似于量词的空对象，为从省略的角度分析空参数提供了新的论点。结果表明，在传统的零论元代词观点下，量词空宾语的存在及其范围性质很难被理解，而省略分析却能很好地解释这一现象。这项研究的结果之一是需要假设语音不可见/不可闻的扰乱，以及它对经济要求的服从。
This article provides a new argument for the analysis of null arguments in terms of ellipsis by considering null objects that behave like quantifiers. It is shown that the presence of quantificational null objects and their scopal property are difficult to accommodate under the traditional view of null arguments as pronouns but are best accounted for by the ellipsis analysis. Among the consequences of the present study are the need to postulate phonetically invisible/inaudible scrambling and its obedience to the economy requirement.
