Missing Links : Cleft , Sluicing , and “ No da ” Construction in Japanese *
This paper, through a close examination, builds missing links between three types of focus constructions in Japanese: Cleft, Sluicing, and socalled ‘No da’ in-situ focus construction. Adopting Rizzi’s (1997) articulated CP clause architecture, we demonstrate that these missing links are provided with a syntactic explanation. We also discuss a syntaxphonology interface phenomenon, namely, the in...
متن کاملSwiping without Sluicing
In sluiced clauses, English allows a wh-expression to be inverted around its preposition in a process called swiping, as in (1a) (Merchant 2002). I show, contrary to previous work, that swiping is not limited to ellipsis contexts: it is also permitted when the inverted (swiped) whPP is coordinated with another wh-phrase, as shown for both matrix and embedded contexts in (1b-c), both from the in...
متن کاملSluicing: Between Structure and Inference
Investigations of sluicing since Chung, Ladusaw, and McCloskey 1995 have profitably explored two approaches to this ellipsis process that differ significantly from ours. In one, the ellipsis site is created by deletion of a fully articulated TP in which Wh -movement has applied. In the other, the ellipsis site contains no internal structure at all, and its reference is resolved via pragmatic in...
متن کاملMultiple Sluicing in English
This paper explores the nature of multiple sluicing in English, which has two or more remnant wh-phrases in clause edge position. At the beginning part of the paper we argue against Nishigauchi's (1998) and Lasnik's (2007) Gapping analysis of multiple sluicing, which says that two remnant wh-phrases each actually occupies the left and right edge of a clause, with the in-between string of words ...
