Abstract:

This monograph explores the syntax and information structure of bare argument
ellipsis. The study concentrates on stripping, which is identified as a
subtype of bare argument ellipsis typically associated with focus sensitive
particles or negation. This monograph presents a unified account of stripping
located at the syntax-information structure interface and argues for a
licensing mechanism which is strongly tied to the focus properties of the
construction. Under this view, types of bare argument ellipsis such as
stripping and pseudostripping, which have received different treatments in the
literature, are shown to be subject to the same licensing mechanism. This
analysis is also extended to instances of bare argument ellipsis in embedded
contexts, which have received little attention in the literature so far.
Integrating theoretical and experimental reasoning, this study presents a
series of experiments investigating the extraction, prosody and context
properties of stripping and thus arrives at a comprehensive and unified
account.
