This analysis uncovers how multidominance occurs in syntax through silent categories, suggesting new linguistic insights.
In Parallel Merge, two syntactic objects dominate one item, a phenomenon known as multidominance. Multidominance is attributed to the three-dimensional structure, where the word order is irrelevant. Since particular languages must be distinguished even when lexical items have no phonetic content, we will use silent categories to refer to the phonetically empty categories.
