I motivate a new theory of exceptional scope phenomena in natural language—that is, the
ability of some expressions to affect the interpretation of others from inside scope islands. I …

This thesis is concerned with sluicing, the ellipsis of TP in a Wh-question leaving a Wh-
phrase “remnant” overt. Sluicing is subject to an identity condition that must hold between …

This paper argues that the meaning of a clausal ellipsis site can only be recovered from a
syntactically derived question, regardless of whether this question is explicitly uttered or is …

The focus of this paper is the characterization of the identity condition on sluicing. While the
formulation of this condition remains an open issue, recent work suggests that sluices are …

In cue-based content-addressable approaches to memory, a target and its competitors are
retrieved in parallel from memory via a fast, associative cue-matching procedure under a …

This paper reports the results of three acceptability judgment experiments on Saudi Arabic
elliptical questions (sluicing) with prepositional phrases. We show that in standard cases of …

This thesis investigates the representation and processing of sluicing, a type of ellipsis
where an interrogative CP is reduced to its initial wh-element (the remnant), eg Mary danced …

This paper focuses on multiple sluicing (MS) utterances in which the antecedent for sluicing

With this thesis, I investigate the prosodic realizations of different sluicing structures, as
produced by either trained or untrained native speakers of English. Sluicing is a subtype of …
