Antecedent-contained clausal argument ellipsis

Journal of East Asian Linguistics, 2017
The aim of this paper is to argue for a particular analysis of null clausal arguments in terms of ellipsis. It is first illustrated that null clausal arguments have underlying syntactic structures that are subject to ellipsis. The main and novel observation for this claim is that null clausal arguments exhibit the effect of the parallelism constraint ...

Quantificational Null Objects and Argument Ellipsis

Linguistic Inquiry, 2008
This article provides a new argument for the analysis of null arguments in terms of ellipsis by considering null objects that behave like quantifiers. It is shown that the presence of quantificational null objects and their scopal property are difficult to accommodate under the traditional view of null arguments as pronouns but are best accounted for ...

Type-Restricted Argument Ellipsis and Generalized Quantifiers

Linguistic Inquiry
Theories of argument ellipsis based on PF deletion or LF copying do not generate predictions regarding possible constraints on the semantic type of the elided argument. Yet such constraints obtain, as documented in Landau 2022: only type-e arguments can be targeted by argument ellipsis. Focusing on quantificational arguments here, I show that when they

Bare Argument Ellipsis and Focus

2016
This monograph explores the syntax and information structure of bare argument ellipsis. The study concentrates on stripping, which is identified as a subtype of bare argument ellipsis typically associated with focus sensitive particles or negation.

Bare Argument Ellipsis and its Relatives

2005
AbstractThis chapter discusses elliptical constructions. Topics covered include nonsentential utterance types, problems for a syntactic account of bare argument ellipsis, reasons to believe syntax is involved in BAE, generalizations behind indirect licensing, a mechanism for indirect licensing, sluicing and sluice-stranding, and gapping.
