An Ellipsis Analysis of Split Nominals in Thai

Cahiers De Linguistique Asie Orientale, 2015
This study investigates the non-adjacent co-occurrence of a nominal (N) and a combination of a numeral and a classifier (Nume-Cl) associated with N in Thai. Having established that Nume-Cl does not occupy an argument or adjunct position, the study proposes an ellipsis analysis, where the Nume-Cl is base-generated in a separate clause and moves to a ...

Nominalization and ellipsis in the Greek DP

The Linguistic Review, 1999
Two DP-internal phenomena in Greek are being distinguished: nominal subdeletion and substantivization. We show that the two cannot be analyzed as instances of the same phenomenon, and that a unified account in terms of ellipsis is untenable. Instead, nominal subdeletion is analyzed as a genuine case of nominal ellipsis, and substantivization as ...

Journal of East Asian Linguistics, 2009
This paper investigates ellipsis within nominals in Japanese with reference to a wider range of data than that considered by Saito et al. (JEAL 17: 247– 271, 2008). It is shown that the interaction with ellipsis reveals two types of no, a genitive case particle and a linking element inserted morphologically. To accommodate the additional ellipsis data,
