Gapping in Japanese = Coordinate + Dependent Ellipsis
This paper argues that gapping in Japanese is best analyzed as the product of the interaction of Coordinate Ellipsis with Dependence Ellipsis originally proposed by Williams (1997) and further extended by Ackema and Szendröi (2002). The proposed analysis correctly derives several core properties of verb gapping in Japanese such as contrastive focus associated with overt remnants, and the role o...
متن کاملA Hybrid Type of Ellipsis in Romanian
The paper presents a type of ellipsis similar to stripping and split conjuncts, yet irreducible to either of them. One aim of the analysis is to document the existence of this distinct ellipsis type within the class of constructions where the elided constituent is a verb or a verb phrase. It is argued that the main generative strategies, namely, deletion and null anaphora cannot be applied to t...
متن کاملEllipsis of Case-Markers and Information Structure in Japanese
This paper presents an HPSG formalisation of how the ellipsis of casemarking affects the focus of the clause in Japanese. We restrict our attention to the nominative and accusative markers ga and o, and in view of the fact that the ellipsis effects on focushood vary between 1) ga and o and 2) different argument structures of the head verb, develop an essentially lexicalist account that combines...
متن کاملPseudo-gapping: Evidence for Overt Quantifier Raising
This paper explores the grammatical process of pseudo-gapping. In the literature, pseudo-gapping has been analyzed as a series of two operations: the syntactic movement of a remnant out of a VP (Move-R) and the phonological deletion of the VP (VP-deletion). Given this movement + deletion theory, I address what type of movement Move-R is. This paper makes a new argument against Takahashi’s (2004...
متن کاملPrivatization, Ownership Structure, and Firm Performance: New Evidence from the Romanian Experiment
We construct and analyze 1992-2001 panel data to study the effects of alternative postprivatization ownership structures on firm performance and the time profile of firm performance before and after privatization for the surviving population of initially stateowned enterprises in Romania. Applying OLS and fixed-effects methods to a variety of specifications, we find consistently positive, highl...
