While much of the literature on recipe contexts has focused on English and the availability of null definite patients, this paper shows that both null agents and null patients are possible in recipes in a range of typologically and genetically diverse languages. It is proposed that null agents in recipes arise due to a variety of syntactic strategies, but null patients are uniformly licensed via a null topic in the left periphery in all the languages considered. These results indicate that while the recipe register does not directly dictate specific syntactic structures such as imperatives or null objects, the register can provide the pragmatic context necessary for certain syntactic processes, such as null topicalization.

跨语言许可配方中的空参数

虽然关于食谱上下文的大部分文献都集中在英语和无效确定患者的可用性上，但本文表明，无效代理和无效患者都可能在一系列类型学和遗传上不同的语言的食谱中。建议由于各种句法策略而出现食谱中的空代理，但空患者通过左侧外围的空主题以所有考虑的语言统一获得许可。这些结果表明，虽然配方寄存器不直接规定特定的句法结构，例如命令式或空对象，但该寄存器可以提供某些句法过程所需的语用上下文，例如空主题化。
