The first book-length treatment of the most cross-linguistically widespread form of ellipsis: elliptical wh-questions, known as sluices. Drawing on data from thirty languages, Merchant shows that sluicing structures are crucial to answering the fundamental questions about the nature of ellipsis and its resolution. The author also carefully documents a number of original generalizations concerning form-identity effects and the complementizer system.
