Conjunction saves multiple sluicing: How *(and) why?
Glossa, 2020 Our goal in this paper is to analyze coordinated wh-sluicing in English and compare its properties to the properties of multiple sluicing, coordinated wh-questions and coordinated clefts.

Experimentally testing the interpretation of multiple sluicing and multiple questions in Hungarian
Linguistic Review, 2022 AbstractHungarian multiple sluicing has been claimed to only be allowed in contexts that set up a pair-list, but not a single-pair reading. This has been taken as evidence that multiple sluicing is derived from multiple wh-fronting questions, which only license pair-list, but not single-pair answers.

Linguistic Review, 2022 Abstract This paper experimentally investigates the two generalizations for multiple sluicing (MS) recently presented by Klaus Abels and Veneeta Dayal: first, that wh-remnants must have clausemate correlates in the antecedent utterance and, second, that wh-remnants in MS can have correlates in the antecedent clause that are contained in ...

GlossaThis paper focuses on multiple sluicing (MS) utterances in which the antecedent for sluicing is syntactically complex, insofar as it contains at least one embedded clause. Complex antecedent MS (henceforth caMS) is subject to the clausemate condition (CC)

On the Syntax of Multiple Sluicing and What It Tells Us aboutWh-Scope Taking [PDF]
Linguistic Inquiry, 2023 Across many languages, multiple sluicing obeys a clausemate constraint. This can be understood on the empirically well-supported assumption that covert phrasal wh-movement is clause-bounded and subject to Superiority. We provide independent evidence for syntactic structure at the ellipsis site and for locality constraints on movement operations within ...

Multiple states in the flow through a sluice gate [PDF]
Journal of Hydraulic Research, 2018 This paper addresses the problem of hydraulic hysteresis for a supercritical open channel flow approaching a sluice gate when subcritical flow can establish downstream, against the gate.

Doubling trouble: some remarks on wh-concord in Swiss German [PDF]
Bucharest Working Papers in Linguistics, 2012 The notion “doubling” is widespread in linguistics. But it is mostly used as a pre-theoretical notion that potentially covers an enormous range of phenomena.

Single and Multiple Sluicing in Persian
Theory and Practice in Language Studies, 2012 This article discusses the syntax and LF properties of the phenomenon of sluicing as ellipsis of the sentential complement to an interrogative complementizer hosting a wh-phrase in Persian. The main purpose of this paper is to explore sluicing in Persian as a real wh-in-situe language that displays optional wh-movement, with a special focus on multiple
