Comparative Ellipsis and Variable Binding
It is hard to find a class of natural language phenomena which exhibits more complex interactions between syntax and semantics than comparative constructions. Comparatives come with phrasal or clausal complements. In this paper, we focus on phrasal comparatives, which on first inspection look simpler than the clausal ones, but in fact add a degree of complexity. We will consider predicative com...

This paper analyses the syntax and semantics of English comparatives, and some types of ellipsis. It improves on other recent analyses in the computational linguistics literature in three respects: (i) it uses no treeor logical-form rewriting devices in building meaning representations (ii) this results in a fully reversible linguistic description, equally suited for analysis or generation (iii...

متن کاملFragments and Ellipsis
Fragmentary utterances such as ‘short’ answers and subsentential XPs without linguistic antecedents are proposed to have fully sentential syntactic structures, subject to ellipsis. Ellipsis in these cases is preceded by A′-movement of the fragment to a clause-peripheral position; the combination of movement and ellipsis accounts for a wide range of connectivity and anti-connectivity effects in ...
