By looking at some basic properties of gapping from the point of view of interpretation and cognitive pro,cessing, it is possible to arrive at a global principle tha t can provide an integrated approach for these Various intluences on. gapping. The principle proposed has the added advantage of being ndt justian arbitrary formal rule but being motivated by eogni{ivh cOnsidei'ations.
