This is a study describing pronominal empty categories of k+stan+iiiia inrnlight of the Minimalist Approach. The study examines the nature ofrnagreement with respect to head and argument relations and the licensingrnand recovery of pronominal empty categories. It intends to provide newrnfacts which may help others to describe pronominal empty categories inrnrelated languages and to make comparative studies. The study is basedrnon data collected from both primary and secondary sources.rnIt is shown that in the . language, heads agree with their arguments inrnclauses and DPs. In declarative clauses, verbs agree with subjects,rnobjects, and adjuncts. In jussive and imperative clauses verbs agree withrnsubjects. In nominal clauses, DPs agree with subjects. Regarding thernlicensing and recovery of pro and PRO, it is shown that subject pros arernlicensed in the Spec of vP, AP, and nP. Subject pros are recovered in thernSpec of ASPP, TP, and AGRSP. Object pros are licensed in therncomplement of VP in transitive verbs and Spec of VP in three-placernpredicates. Indirect object and adjunct pros are licensed in therncomplement of VP and in the v' position, respectively. And object, indirectrnobject, and adjunct preis are recovered in the Spec of the appropriaternAGRP. PRO is licensed in the Spec of nP and recovered in the Spec ofrnAGRSP.rnThis study describes the licensing and recovery of pronominal emptyrncategories m limited clauses and DPs only. Therefore, furtherrninvestigation is needed to find out all the possible positions of thernlicensing and recovery of the categories within the view of the minimalistrnapproach. Moreover, the distribution of the complementizer 'yii.-' andrnmain verb markers of the language need deeper investigation.
