This volume explores the nature of ellipsis, the core phenomenon
that results in various types of omission in sentences. The
chapters adopt the popular 'silent structure' accounts of ellipsis,
and investigate the question of when linguistic material becomes
silenced during the derivation and realization of syntactic
structure. The book begins with a detailed introduction from the
editors that outlines the current generative syntactic approaches
to the derivational timing of ellipsis. In the chapters that
follow, internationally-recognized experts in the field address key
topics including structure building, the architecture of grammar,
the interaction of distinct modules with syntax, the order of
operations in the post-syntactic component, and constraints on
binding relations. The authors also present novel arguments for and
against the derivational approaches to ellipsis, the licensing of
ellipsis, and phonological constraints on elliptical sentences. The
findings, based on data from English and other languages such as
Armenian, Italo-Romance, Ossetic, Spanish, Taiwanese, and Turkish,
facilitate a deeper understanding of the interaction between syntax
and the neighbouring modules in the formation of elliptical
utterances.
