Research Abstract

When linguists consider the interpretation of elliptical construction in a natural language, they have to clarify the procedures by which speakers of a language are able systematically to generate appropriate meanings for ellipsis sites. I have discussed this question by investigating various kinds of ellipsis from syntactic and semantic perspectives. My research has revealed that ellipsis sites have unpronounced pro-forms or syntactic structures, and that the latter type of elliptical construction is formed by the deletion operation at the phonological component or the copy operation at the semantic component.
