Fragments and Left-Edge Ellipsis: The Division of Labour Between Syntax, Semantics, and Prosody [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Ellipsis

2019
AbstractThis chapter surveys a variety of approaches to ellipsis, classifying them by how they answer the questions of structure (‘Is there structure inside ellipsis sites?’) and identity (‘What kind of identity, if any, holds between an ellipsis and its antecedent?’).

Ellipsis: computation of

WIREs Cognitive Science, 2012
AbstractA computational account of ellipsis should specify not only how the meaning of an elliptical sentence is computed in context but also a description of what is being computed. Many proposals can be divided into two groups, as per whether they compute the meaning of an elliptical sentence based on the semantic or the syntactic parts of its ...

Nominal Ellipsis

2019
AbstractThis chapter centers on nominal ellipsis phenomena from a broad perspective. First, several diagnostics are provided in order to make a basic distinction between empty nouns and true instances of nominal ellipses. One set of such diagnostics is related to uniformity considerations; i.e.

Ellipsis

1995
Abstract Lobeck elaborates a theory of ellipsis which brings the phenomenon under the aegis of very general and universal principles. She argues that the Empty Category Principle (ECP) constrain the distribution of ellipsis just as it constrains the distributions of traces and null pronouns, which has implications not only for ellipsis ...

Ellipsis resolution and inference

Acta Linguistica Hafniensia, 2004
AbstractY Since Webber (1978) it has been known that ellipsis interpretation sometimes requires inference. However, the literature on ellipsis has largely Ignored this: prominent accounts such as (Sag (1976); Williams (1977); Dalrymple et al. (1991); Fiengo and May (1994) and Hardt (1999)) provide no mechanism for inference in ellipsis resolution.
