Abstract
Null operators in general, and null operators in double dont constructions in particular, must be in a local relationship with respect to the A′-chain which identifies them at S-Structure. Recall that the need for an S-Structure antecedent derives from the Universal Licensing Principle, one effect of which is that null operators must be licensed (and identified) at every syntactic level of representation.
