&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;'''Gamma-marking''' is a mechanism which assigns the feature [+gamma] to empty categories that are [[properly governed]]. For chains terminating in an argument position, it is assumed that gamma-marking takes place at S-structure, while for chains terminating in a non-argument position it is assumed to take place at LF. EC's that are not properly governed receive the feature [-gamma] by default. In this way, applying the [[ECP]] means checking whether an EC has the feature [+gamma] at LF.&lt;br /&gt;
