In this paper we discuss several constructions with null objects in Brazilian Portuguese (BP), based on Santos’s (2002, 2003) arguments that stress shift in BP is blocked by pro, but not by traces. In particular, we show that stress shift provides evidence for an analysis of PP-chopping relatives in terms of pro (Kato & Nunes, this volume) and that it can also distinguish true null objects from parasitic gaps in BP.
