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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Polarity reversals under sluicing
, 2019 This paper presents novel English sluicing data that challenge even the most successful existing theories of the relationship between antecedent and elided content in sluicing constructions.

Proceedings of the International Conference on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, 2011 Sluicing is widely regarded as requiring an analysis via deletion operations, a potentially problematic conclusion for non-transformational frameworks like HPSG. We examine critically and reassess the motivation for a deletion analysis of Sluicing, offering cross-linguistic and language-internal evidence in support of a fundamentally semantic ...

Pseudo-sluicing in Turkish: A pro-form Analysis
Proceedings of the Workshop on Turkic and Languages in Contact with Turkic, 2019 This study investigates pseudo-sluicing constructions in Turkish and argues that they can be best accounted for by a pro-form analysis. The explanation rests on the properties of pseudo-sluicing in Turkish such as lack of case connectivity, presence of ...

Second Language Research, 2022 This study attempts to explain a systematic phenomenon that has been described in interlanguage grammars crosslinguistically: Null-Prep, which consists of omitting the obligatory preposition in certain movement constructions. We propose that Null-Prep is

The Linguistic Review, 2022 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 ...

On the Syntax of Multiple Sluicing and What It Tells Us about Wh-Scope Taking
Linguistic Inquiry, 2021 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.
