This book is about one of the most intriguing features of human communication systems: the
fact that words that go together in meaning can occur arbitrarily far away from each other. In …

The primary goal of coherence theory is to provide an explanation for the coherence
properties of discourse: what properties distinguish a discourse from a mere collection of …

A novel logic-based framework for representing the syntax-semantics interface of natural
language, applicable to a range of phenomena. In this book, Yusuke Kubota and Robert …

Sluicing in Korean allows to unexpress clausal material, but the unexpressed, elided
material needs to be recovered in a proper way. The recovering process makes use of either …

In this paper, we will argue that, of the various grammatical and discourse constraints that
affect acceptability in verb phrase ellipsis (VPE), only the structural parallelism constraint is …

Gapping elides a finite verb in the non-initial conjunct of a coordinate structure while VP
ellipsis deletes a whole VP after an auxiliary. Unlike these two, pseudogapping elides most …

In this book, I propose a grammar fragment which accounts for the main properties of two
elliptical constructions ('lacking'for the verbal head) called gapping (1a) and verbless …

This paper presents the results of a large-scale investigation of the use of NP-remnant
pseudogapping (PG) in the COCA corpus. Discourse conditions on the use of …

Previous research on VP-ellipsis has revealed the existence of a Mismatch Asymmetry,
whereby cases with passive voice ellipsis clauses and active antecedent clauses are less …

In this article, we propose an analysis of pseudogapping in Hybrid Type-Logical Categorial
Grammar (Hybrid TLCG;;). Pseudogapping poses a particularly challenging problem for …
