Ellipsis and Quantiication: a Substitutional Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper describes a substitutional approach to ellipsis resolution giving comparable results to (?), but without the need for order-sensitive interleaving of quantiier scoping and ellipsis resolution. It is argued that the order-independence results from viewing semantic interpretation as building a description of a semantic composition, instead of the more common view of interpretation as actually performing the composition.

متن کاملEliding the Derivation: A Minimalist Formalization of Ellipsis
In this paper I use the formal framework of minimalist grammars to implement a version of the traditional approach to ellipsis as ‘deletion under syntactic (derivational) identity’, which, in conjunction with canonical analyses of voice phenomena, immediately allows for voice mismatches in verb phrase ellipsis, but not in sluicing. This approach to ellipsis is naturally implemented in a parser ...
