In this reply I examine Modesto’s (2011) claim that null subjects in Brazilian Portuguese (BP) are not controlled and are not derived by movement. I show that the critique has a considerable number of misconceptions, misunderstandings and misrepresentations that prevent a proper evaluation of movement approaches to null subjects in BP. When the relevant points are rectified, we see that the technical problems are inexistent and the empirical coverage of the movement approach is even more comprehensive than initially thought.

在巴西葡萄牙语中进行有限控制和超募的评论

在此答复中，我研究了莫德斯托（Modesto）（2011）的说法，即巴西葡萄牙语（BP）中的空主题不受控制，也不是通过运动得出的。我表明，这种批评存在大量误解，误解和陈述，妨碍了对BP无效受试者的运动方法的正确评估。纠正了有关要点后，我们发现技术问题不复存在，并且对运动方法的经验性报道甚至比最初设想的还要全面。
