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

open access: yesLinguistic 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.

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.
