  2. Ellipsis (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsis_(linguistics)

    One challenge to theoretical accounts of ellipsis comes from cases where the elided material does not appear to be a constituent. [3] Since syntactic operations can only target constituents in standard phrase-structural approaches, accounts within these frameworks must posit additional movement operations to explain such cases.

  3. Verb phrase ellipsis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verb_phrase_ellipsis

    In linguistics, ' Verb phrase ellipsis ' (VP ellipsis or VPE) is a type of grammatical omission where a verb phrase is left out (elided) but its meaning can still be inferred from context. For example, " She will sell sea shells , and he will <sell sea shells> too " is understood as " She will sell sea shells, and he will sell sea shells too ...

  4. Stripping (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stripping_(linguistics)

    As with most ellipsis mechanisms, theoretical accounts of stripping face significant challenges. The greatest challenge is to come up with a coherent explanation of the stripped material. The insight that the remnant of stripping is always a constituent is straightforward.

  5. Noun ellipsis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noun_ellipsis

    Noun ellipsis (N-ellipsis), also noun phrase ellipsis (NPE), is a mechanism that elides, or appears to elide, part of a noun phrase that can be recovered from context. The mechanism occurs in many languages like English, which uses it less than related languages.

  6. Answer ellipsis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Answer_ellipsis

    Theoretical accounts of answer ellipsis are faced with the same basic problem that challenges the accounts of other ellipsis mechanisms. This problem revolves around the fact that the elided material often does not form a constituent in surface syntax. The following trees illustrate the problem.

  7. Constituent (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constituent_(linguistics)

    The VP-ellipsis test checks to see which strings containing one or more predicative elements (usually verbs) can be elided from a sentence. Strings that can be elided are deemed constituents: [14] The symbol ∅ is used in the following examples to mark the position of ellipsis: Beggars could immediately put off the customers when they arrive, and

    Police in Spain have arrested two people in connection with a missing persons case after a Google Maps vehicle took a picture of someone apparently loading a large object into the trunk of a car.

  9. Gapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapping

    Gapping exists in many languages, but by no means in all of them, and gapping has been studied extensively and is therefore one of the more understood ellipsis mechanisms. [2] Stripping is viewed as a particular manifestation of the gapping mechanism where just one remnant (instead of two or more) appears in the gapped/stripped conjunct.
