While the left clausal periphery has been in the center of attention of syntactic theory since
the 1970s, the right periphery remains comparatively ill-understood. The goal of this paper is …

This paper makes two related but distinct claims concerning the relationship between
islandhood and the clausal ellipsis construction known as stripping. The first claim is that (at …

This paper examines the antecedent or identity condition on ellipsis by focusing on the
conditions under which mismatches between an ellipsis site and its antecedent are allowed …

This study provides an argument for syntactic approaches to sluicing. We base our study on
the novel observation that Parasitic Gaps (PG) are licensed in sluicing contexts. We show …

The goal of this chapter is to discuss the theoretic development (within generative grammar)
of the functional structure within nominal projections, with special attention to the …

This paper documents the existence of swiping–that is, inversion of a wh-phrase and its
associated preposition under sluicing–in a non-Germanic language. We discuss swiping in …

This thesis investigates and documents the existence of preposition stranding in a dialect of
Canadian French. The French spoken in the small Franco-Ontarian town of Lafontaine (LFF) …

This phenomenon is called ellipsis: under certain conditions, linguistic material can be
omitted from an utterance but we nevertheless understand the utterance as if it has not been …
