Abstract
he concept of Empty Category plays an important role in Generative Grammar. The claim is that syntactic structures may contain empty (or ‘covert’ or ‘null’) categories, that is categories which have no overt phonological properties, and therefore no phonetic form. They are silent, only ‘seen’ by the mind as it computes the structure of a sentence.
