On Antecedent Contained Ellipsis*
This paper argues that elliptical VPs do not necessarily present cases of VP ellipsis. Certain relative clauses that contain elliptical VPs are analysed as instances of transitive verb phrase ellipsis. A storing account of ellipsis resolution is given. Resolution of TVP ellipsis is achieved by resolving a binary relation that derives from an antecedent TVP. This avoids the problem of antecedent...
متن کاملThe psycholinguistics of ellipsis
This article reviews studies that have used experimental methods from psycholinguistics to address questions about the representation of sentences involving ellipsis. Accounts of the structure of ellipsis can be classified based on three choice points in a decision tree. First: does the identity constraint between antecedents and ellipsis sites apply to syntactic or semantic representations? Se...
متن کاملResolving Ellipsis in Clarification
We offer a computational analysis of the resolution of ellipsis in certain cases of dialogue clarification. We show that this goes beyond standard techniques used in anaphora and ellipsis resolution and requires operations on highly structured, linguistically heterogeneous representations. We characterize these operations and the representations on which they operate. We offer an analysis couch...
متن کاملAnaphoric Dependencies In Ellipsis
It has long been known that anaphoric relationships in the implicit meaning of an elided verb phrase depend on corresponding anaphoric relationships in the source of the ellipsis. This squib concernswhat the underlying cause of this dependency is. Does it arise directly through some uniform relation between the two clauses, or does it follow indirectly from independently motivated discourse pri...
متن کاملIntroduction : observing the ellipsis
This is a book about . . . . It is a history of hesitations, interruptions and omissions in literary texts. More specifically, it is about the marks that make manifest literature’s lapses into silence. Silence has been defined as the nonsymbolic. This book demonstrates nonetheless writers’ persistent need for routine symbols that express communicative dependence on the non-verbal. The subject o...
