Incremental sentence production and clausal coordinate ellipsis :
From two corpus studies into varieties of clausal coordination in English (Meyer, 1995 and Greenbaum & Nelson, 1999), it is known that the incidence of clausal coordinate ellipsis (CCE) is about two times higher in written than in spoken language. We present a treebank study into CCE in written and spoken Dutch and German which confirms this tendency. Moreover, we observe considerable differenc...
متن کاملRule-Based Detection of Clausal Coordinate Ellipsis
With our experiment, we show how we can detect and annotate clausal coordinate ellipsis with Constraint Grammar rules. We focus on such an elliptical structure in which there are two coordinated clauses, and the latter one lacks a verb. For example, the sentence This belongs to me and that to you demonstrates the ellipsis in question, namely gapping. The Constraint Grammar rules are made for a ...
متن کاملEllipsis licensing in differential degree complements∗
Here I investigate the licensing of ellipsis in degree complement clauses found inside differential degree quantifiers. I identify an asymmetry in which the degree complement clause where VP ellipsis takes place must contain a QR-ed quantifier outside the ellipsis site, despite the seeming availability of antecedents both with and without the QR-ed quantifier. This phenomenon has not previously...
متن کاملGenerating Clausal Coordinate Ellipsis Multilingually: A Uniform Approach Based on Postediting
Present-day sentence generators are often incapable of producing a wide variety of wellformed elliptical versions of coordinated clauses, in particular, of combined elliptical phenomena (Gapping, Forward and Backward Conjunction Reduction, etc.). The applicability of the various types of clausal coordinate ellipsis (CCE) presupposes detailed comparisons of the syntactic properties of the coordi...
متن کاملClausal Coordinate Ellipsis in German: The TIGER Treebank as a Source of Evidence
Syntactic parsers and generators need highquality grammars of coordination and coordinate ellipsis—structures that occur very frequently but are much less well understood theoretically than many other domains of grammar. Modern grammars of coordinate ellipsis are based nearly exclusively on linguistic judgments (intuitions). The extent to which grammar rules based on this type of empirical evid...
