This paper presents a formal, sound and complete parser for Minimalist Grammars whose search space contains branching points that we can identify as the locus of the decision to perform this kind of active gap-finding. This brings formal models of parsing into closer contact with recent psycholinguistic theorizing than was previously possible. %R 10.18653/v1/W19-2901 %U https://aclanthology.org/W19-2901 %U https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/W19-2901 %P 1-10
