Idioms, Argument Ellipsis and LF-Copy

Journal of East Asian Linguistics, 2020
AbstractArgument ellipsis in Javanese exhibits a subject‐object asymmetry with respect to sloppy/quantificational interpretations. Adopting theLF‐Copy theory of null arguments developed in Japanese and Turkish (Oku 1998, Takahashi 2008a, b, Şener and Takahashi 2010), I argue that this asymmetry falls out from the dyadic voice agreement system in ...

Derivational argument ellipsis

The Linguistic Review, 2019
The present article is concerned with two important observations about argument ellipsis. One is that it may apply to arguments that do not enter into agreement relationship with functional categories but not to those that do; the other is that ...

Type-Restricted Argument Ellipsis and Generalized Quantifiers

Linguistic Inquiry, 2023
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.

To Drop or Not to Drop? Predicting Argument Ellipsis Judgments: A Case Study in Japanese

International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation
Speakers sometimes omit certain arguments of a predicate in a sentence; such omission is especially frequent in pro-drop languages. This study addresses a question about ellipsis—what can explain the native speakers’ ellipsis decisions?—motivated by the ...

On Extraction out of the Argument Ellipsis Site

Language and Linguistics, 2019
This paper addresses interesting extraction patterns in nominal ellipsis. Based on Han, Kim, Moulton, and Lidz’s (to appear) recent proposal that the internal structure exists in null argument position in Korean, we investigate under what context a constituent could be extracted from the nominal, part of which has been elided.

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 ...
