Sluicing, Sprouting and Missing Objects
Studies in Chinese Linguistics, 2017 Taking “sluicing” to be derived by movement + deletion, as represented by Merchant (2001), and “pseudo-sluicing” to be a base-generated structure [pro (+be) + wh] (going by Wei 2004; Adams 2004), this paper reviews arguments for and against the presence ...

Sluicing inside relatives [PDF]
Linguistics in the Netherlands, 2013 This paper contributes to current advances in the cross-linguistic variation of syntactic contexts that allow sluicing. We investigate a relatively rare sluicing strategy: TP-ellipsis inside relative clauses. We analyse this phenomenon in Gungbe based on Van Craenenbroeck and Lipták’s (2006) implementation of the [e]-feature characteristic of sluicing.

Voice mismatches beyond passives : sluicing with active impersonal antecedents
Linguistica Brunensia, 2021 While ellipsis tolerates various kinds of mismatches, sluicing does not allow for a mismatch in active/passive voice between an ellipsis site and its antecedent.

Glossa, 2023 Exclamative sluices (What a goal!, How odd!) have not been part of the debate on the nature of ellipsis constructions. As we show here their profile is quite different from the usual suspects, VP ellipsis and interrogative sluicing – they occur much more

On the grammaticality of morphosyntactically reduced remnants in Polish sluicing
Linguistics, 2022 This paper explores the grammaticality status of reduced sluicing remnants (i.e., remnants realized as NPs due to preposition drop) in Polish. We provide experimental evidence that reduced remnants are variously acceptable in a specific environment ...
