, 2018 Ellipsis in linguistics refers to a construction whose phonological form is missing relative to the form that construction should have considering the meaning it denotes. Mismatch between form and meaning requires that meaning associated with the gap be somehow recoverable; in that sense, ellipsis differs from deletion, such as deletion of features. In

Features of French clausal ellipsis [PDF]
IsoglossEvidence is provided that there is a use of the French clitic le (coined special le) that co-occurs with clausal ellipsis. I argue against extending Elbourne’s (2001) analysis of E-type pronouns as definite determiners followed by ellipsis to special le

Ellipsis in tautologous conditionals: the contrast condition on ellipsis
Semantics and Linguistic Theory, 2018 I compare two theories to account for the novel observation that ellipsis is ungrammatical in tautologous conditionals, e.g. If John is wrong, then he is *(wrong). One theory attributes the ungrammaticality to a contrast failure in ellipsis parallelism (Rooth 1992a,b); the other to triviality at a more abstract, logical level (Gajewski 2009).

IsoglossThis paper discusses the correlation between clitics, DOM and ellipsis in Spanish. As observed by Cyrino & Ordóñez (2018), strict and sloppy readings can be obtained in both TP ellipsis and argument ellipsis with clitics.

An algorithm for VP ellipsis [PDF]
Proceedings of the 30th annual meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1992 An algorithm is proposed to determine antecedents for VP ellipsis. The algorithm eliminates impossible antecedents, and then imposes a preference ordering on possible antecedents. The algorithm performs with 94% accuracy on a set of 304 examples of VP ellipsis collected from the Brown Corpus.

Fragments and left-edge ellipsis: The division of labour between syntax, semantics, and prosody [PDF]
, 2022 This chapter provides a unified treatment of fragment ellipsis and left-edge ellipsis in English. Both processes are argued to be cases of ellipsis at the syntax–prosody interface, very late in the derivation.

, 2021 This chapter provides an overview of the HPSG analyses of elliptical constructions. It first discusses three types of ellipsis (nonsentential utterances, predicate ellipsis, and non-constituent coordination) that have attracted much attention in HPSG. It then reviews existing evidence for and against the so-called direct interpretation or WYSIWYG (what
