Abstract
AbstractThis paper argues that gapping in Spanish is not a single phenomenon and can be derived from different source structures. The first type of gapping in Spanish involves clausal coordination and is thus derived through TP‐deletion, whereas the second type contains low coordination below TP, which allows it to be derived by either vP‐deletion or Across‐The‐Board (ATB) verb movement whose availability depends on the subject‐verb agreement patterns found in gapping. This approach also extends to cases where the conjuncts in gapping display various non‐canonical word orders, which also fall under two types of gapping and can be analyzed using the same mechanisms as those applicable to SVO‐conjuncts.
