‘Multiple Sluicing’ in Japanese and the Functional Nature of Wh-Phrases

Journal of East Asian Linguistics, 1998
This article discusses the syntax and LF properties of ‘Multiple Sluicing’ in Japanese. Built on the LF-Copying analysis, we examine the condition imposed on the elements figuring in the IP-Copying site, and show the relevance of the functional interpretation of wh phrases.

Attention and Locality: On Clause-Boundedness and Its Exceptions in Multiple Sluicing

Linguistic Inquiry, 2023
We provide an account of clause-boundedness in multiple sluicing that also captures its exceptions. Clause-boundedness arises whenever an embedded clause’s subject is not coreferential with a topical discourse referent in the embedding clause. Our account ties clause-boundedness to discourse factors.

Multiple Sluicing in English?

Syntax, 2013
AbstractSeveral cases have been discovered where syntactic violations seem to be “repaired” by sluicing. One such case is repair of island violations, first observed by Ross (1969). Another is situations in which a normally obligatory movement fails to apply and the derivation is seemingly salvaged by ellipsis.

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: surface scope antecedents can license a multiple sluice, but inverse scope antecedents cannot.

Prediction of discharge coefficients for sluice gates equipped with different geometric sills under the gate using multiple non-linear regression (MNLR)

Journal of Hydrology, 2021
Abstract Gates in dams and irrigation canals are used for controlling discharge and for water regulation. To determine the discharge under a gate, the discharge coefficient (Cd) must be quantified. This study investigates the effect of sill shape under a vertical sluice gate on Cd. The study also includes the influence of height.
