Capeverdean, a Portuguese-based Creole language, displays an intriguing pattern of VP Ellipsis (VPE): VPE may occur in answers to yes/no questions but it is ruled out in coordination structures. This is unexpected, since both polar question/answer pairs and coordination structures are typical licensing contexts for VPE in the languages that allow it ...

It is shown that the evidence against syntactic ellipsis heavily outweighs the evidence for it.
