Since the proposal by Kuno (1976) that Gapping is strongly constrained by the Requirement for Simplex Sentential Relationship, others (e.g. Jake 1977) have found exceptions to this proposal. This paper argues that Gapping, more accurately sentence‐internal Gapping, is constrained less broadly by RSSR and that some unacceptable gaps are due instead to a condition requiring N2 s in first position in gapping remaindered pairs to be subjects. This reanalysis accounts for certain allowable exceptions to RSSR as well as other gapping phenomena, and suggests that Gapping may be a relation‐related process
