</ul></div><div class="">Ellipsis is a central phenomenon at the interface between syntax,
semantics, phonology and discourse. It has been, and continues to be,
the focus of numerous publications (van Craenenbroeck & Temmerman
2018). Despite a huge amount of theoretical work (from, e.g., Hankamer
& Sag 1976 to current work by van Craenenbroek 2010, Ginzburg 2012)
and a long tradition in psycholinguistic experimentation (from Murphy
1985 and Tannnenhaus & Carlson 1990 to current work by Kim &
Runner 2017, Poppels & Kehler 2019), major questions remain open,
most centrally the question of whether it is necessary to hypothesize
the existence of unpronounced syntactic structure at the ellipsis site.
The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers who have
been working on elliptical phenomena with special emphasis on
methodologies aiming to improve the empirical foundations of the
discussion, specifically psycholinguistic experimentation (acceptability
and eye-tracking experiments, in particular) and corpus investigations.
Contributions will be welcome concerning (i) the specific experimental
methodologies being used in psycholinguistics, and how they can be
improved to give more reliable and interpretable results; (ii) the way
corpus data can be brought to bear on theoretical questions; and (iii)
how corpus data can be used to improve the results of psycholinguistic
experiments, specifically by increasing the naturalness of the materials
by providing new hypotheses. This two-day conference will lead to
publication and continues the theme initiated by preceding ECBAE
conferences during the 2017 and 2019 LSA Linguistic Institutes.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><font color="#0432ff" class=""><a href="http://drehu.linguist.univ-paris-diderot.fr/ecbae-2020/" class="">http://drehu.linguist.univ-paris-diderot.fr/ecbae-2020/</a></font></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></body></html>
