“Gapping” in DP?

In (2a), the noun in the second conjunct story is absent but the sentence has the same interpretation as (2b), where story is not absent. We call the construction in (2a) Nominal Gapping (NG). For the sake of exposition, we use the following terminology in describing VG and NG. Take (1a) as an example. We call the first conjunct the antecedent constituent and the second conjunct the gapped constituent. Within the gapped constituent, the elements that remain intact (Sally and the hamburgers) are called remnants. Within the antecedent constituent, the elements that correspond to the remnants (Mary and the apple) are called correlates. The same set of terms also applies to NG (2a). VG and NG exhibit three similarities. First, in both VG and NG, remnants carry contrastive focus (we use small capitals to indicate focus).
