چکیده

This paper reports on an effort to develop a linguistically-informed annotation scheme for sluicing (Ross, 1969), ellipsis that leaves behind a wh-phrase. We describe a scheme for annotating the elided content, both in terms of a free text representation and its degree of correspondence with its antecedent. We demonstrate that we can achieve reasonable IAA (α between .78 and .88 across eight annotation types) and describe some of the novel patterns that have arisen from this effort.

James N . Collins , Daria Popova , Ivan A . Sag , and Thomas Wasow Sluicing and the inquisitive potential of appositives

This paper investigates experimentally the generalizations made in AnderBois (2010, 2011, 2014) that a sluice may never take an appositive clause as its antecedent. We find that experimental participants rated sentences with sluiceantecedents in appositives as acceptable. We highlight two factors which influence the acceptability of appositive antecedents for sluices:whether the indefinite NP a...

Filling the Silence: Reactivation, not Reconstruction

In a self-paced reading experiment, we investigated the processing of sluicing constructions ("sluices") whose antecedent contained a known garden-path structure in German. Results showed decreased processing times for sluices with garden-path antecedents as well as a disadvantage for antecedents with non-canonical word order downstream from the ellipsis site. A post-hoc analysis showed the gar...
