Ellipsis occurs when certain portions of a sentence are not spoken
- for example 'Mary has read more books than Bill has [read books]'
and 'Jack called, but I don't know where [he called] from'. These
constructions interest linguists because the meaning of the
sentence cannot be traced directly to the words it contains. This
volume brings together a team of leading syntacticians to propose
new and original solutions to some key questions in the study of
ellipsis: What characterises ellipsis? Under what conditions is it
possible? What kinds of meanings are allowed to go unspoken?
Drawing on a variety of authentic constructions, they examine
ellipsis in the context of a range of syntactic phenomena such as
binding, raising, anaphora, movement and scrambling. Making
significant progress towards solving some central problems in
syntactic theory, this volume will be of key interest to anyone
working on theoretical syntax, semantics and psycholinguistics.
