Kalin and Weisser (2019) observe that Spanish, among other differential-object-marking (DOM) languages, allows for what they call asymmetric DOM in coordination, that is, a DP coordinate structure in which an unmarked DP and a marked DP are conjoined. Given that coordinate structures are islands, asymmetric DOM challenges movement analyses for DOM. Yet we show that alleged cases of asymmetric DOM in Spanish do not involve DP-coordination; rather, they involve coordination of a larger structure plus TP-ellipsis. Evidence involves binding, extraction, fragment answers, and association with focus. We conclude that asymmetric DOM does not exist in Spanish, a fact consonant with movement analyses.

Kalin 和 Weisser (2019) 观察到，在其他差分对象标记 (DOM) 语言中，西班牙语允许他们所谓的非对称 DOM 协调，即一个 DP 坐标结构，其中未标记的 DP 和标记的 DP 结合在一起. 鉴于坐标结构是孤岛，非对称 DOM 对 DOM 的运动分析提出了挑战。然而，我们表明西班牙语中所谓的不对称 DOM 案例不涉及 DP 协调；相反，它们涉及更大结构和 TP 省略号的协调。证据涉及绑定、提取、片段答案以及与焦点的关联。我们得出结论，西班牙语中不存在非对称 DOM，这一事实与运动分析一致。
