Deriving Syntactic Structure inside Ellipsis
The proper linguistic representation of ellipsis has been a source of debate for years (Hankamer and Sag, 1976), with ellipsis theories broadly categorizable as being either syntactic or semantic, depending on whether or not an elided constituent is held to contain articulated syntactic structure. In this paper, I combine ideas from both syntactic and semantic theories in order to (1) account f...

Under this view, sentences have meaning, but the syntactic structures which sentences instantiate do not. This paper challenges this view: it uses the phenomeno...

Pseudosluicing, where an elliptical cleft takes a non-cleft as its antecedent, pose a problem for the idea that there is a syntactic parallelism requirement. In this talk, we will look at Spanish data (building on the analysis of Rodrigues et al. 2008) ...
