Multiple Sluicing, Scope, and Superiority: Consequences for Ellipsis Identity

Linguistic Inquiry, 2018
This article defends a semantic identity account of ellipsis licensing. The argument comes from examples of multiple sluicing, especially from Russian. Concentrating on antecedents that contain two quantified statements, we uncover a surprising asymmetry:

Case mismatching in Icelandic clausal ellipsis

Journal of Linguistics, 2019
In this article, we take a detailed look at clausal ellipsis in Icelandic, a hitherto understudied phenomenon. We focus on case-matching and case-mismatching facts in fragment responses.

On Certain Adjacency Effects in Ellipsis Contexts

Linguistic Inquiry, 2019
In this article, I show that crosslinguistically, there is a recurring pattern in various ellipsis constructions (e.g., fragment answers, right-dislocation, right-node raising, VP-ellipsis), to the effect that parts of a remnant can be additionally ...

Using BERT to Process Chinese Ellipsis and Coreference in Clinic Dialogues

IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration, 2019
This paper focuses on ellipsis and coreference resolution in Chinese dialogue. The experimental data are real medical diagnosis dialogues. New features for machine learning, as well as deep learning approach such as BERT, were used to develop classifiers

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 ...

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 ...

VP Ellipsis

2012
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 ...
