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 (see e.g., Craenenbroek and Termmerman 2017). Despite a
huge amount of theoretical work (from, e.g., Hankamer and Sag 1976 to current
work by Johnson, Kehler, Merchant, van Craenenbroek) and a long tradition in
psycho- and neurolinguistic experimentation (from Murphy 1985 and Tanenhaus
and Carlson 1990 to current work by Frazier, Runner, Kertz, Kaan, etc.), 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. 


Call for Papers:

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers who have been
working on elliptical phenomena (VP ellipsis, sluicing, gapping, RNR, etc.) in
various languages, with special emphasis on solid empirical data, specifically
through experimentation (acceptability and eye-tracking experiments, in
particular) and corpus investigations. Contributions will be welcome
concerning 

(i) The syntax and semantics of ellipsis using experimental methods; 
(ii) The way corpus data can be brought to bear on theoretical questions; 
(iii) How corpus data can interact with experimental results; 
(iv) The presentation of new resources, such as ellipsis annotation (e.g. Bos
and Spenader 2011, Anand and McCloskey 2015).

A round table will be organized during the workshop on the creation of one or
more ellipsis databases allowing researchers to share their data and
experimental materials.

A special issue journal publication is planned for a selection of
contributions to the workshop.

Submission Guidelines:
