Abstract

In this paper I examine the use of null arguments in coordinated structures where both conjuncts have the same object. The data come from the Greek New Testament and its translations into old Indo-European languages. I conclude that in Greek, a null argument in the second conjunct is practically obligatory, both in cases of syntactic coordination and in cases of discourse coordination of syntactically subordinate participle clauses. The translation languages basically behave in the same way in licensing null arguments in coordinations, but tend to avoid discourse coordination of syntactic subordinates.
